That was perfect. Now I know I'm not alone. Whenever I have a specific project outlined for the night, I usually get sidetracked and end up drinking a 30 pack with a couple friends. Love that Coors Extra Gold. $11.99 for 30 of 'em where I live.

Chaz...

You never finished you oil change, guess you are looking for a new motor!

Tell ya what, Granted I've never had that much trouble changing my oil, but I'd never take it to a engine oil buthcher place. The worst thing you can do to a vehicle is take it to one of those places...

Just remembered a terrible story y'all might enjoy. My best friends roommate took his Grand Am with about 200k miles to a Walmart for an oil change. They drained the oil and then started the engine for a few seconds and it seized up. The punk kid that did it said he heard that it would help purge the rest of the oil out of the engine. Anyways he got fired and Walmart had to buy the roommate a brand new engine.
Oh yea, one more. A girl I used to work with took her car to another Walmart (see a trend here?) for an oil change. After the amazingly successful oil change, the punk kid employee wrapped her car around a phone poll doing 50 mph in the parking lot. Said he was just "test driving" it. Thats why even if I'm 90 years old and in a wheelchair, I'm still going to change my own oil.

If you're 90 years old and in a wheelchair, you don't need a truck. Just slap an engine on your chair and take off.

No, no, got it all wrong! I don't pay anyone to change my oil, I make my boyfriend do it! Stand back, smoke, drink Coke, listen to him cuss, laugh when he gets oil all over himself, get down underneath to undo the oil filter because he can't, "his hands are too oily" stand back again and watch him do the rest, knowing I have the power, because he knows if he doesn't do it for me, he's out a lot of sex!! haha

Not really, but that would be cool. I don't have a b/f, and if I did, there's no WAY he'd be touching my truck. :)

Great story, It is soooooo true. My problem is I start out to do a simple preventative maintenance and end upfinding something else that needs to be fix and then breaking it, stripping it, shorting it out, or whatever else. And I'm usually distracted by my buddies bench-racing and drinking, that my simple project took all Saturaday.

Oh wel,l just the price I pay for being a car/truck/atv/ anything with a motor guy
 
You need to use the "Tim Allen" formula. Take the time you think it's supposed to take to do the project, and multiply by 4. Works everytime...

Got my wife the other day though. Told her I was going to change the oil in her car and the K5 and I'd be done within an hour. Already had the case of oil and both filters. To her amazement it only took 2.5 hours! HA! (...well you see her car is a pain in the arse, and then I had to clean up the mess her car left from the bogus place they put the oil-filter, and of course on the rig I like to spend time under there making sure things aren't leaking and all...and still it took 1.5 hours less than expected!! ya-hoo!)
