Ping!

I WANT to know and take care of my own car maintenance! I hate more than anything going into an oil-change place and feeling like they're scammin' me.

You think I could change the oil myself on a Bug?

I have stopped replacing my wife's side view mirrors...she just knocks them off repeatedly...when I ride in the passenger seat (nervous & sweating) my constant reaction when passing curbside mailboxes is to duck repeatedly.....freaks me out.... Some things never change....

Don't know what I'd do without her.....

Geez, this woman makes single women look bad!

When I was single I used to routinely change my own oil, brake pads, thermostat, etc. And I'm not a woofer like Helen Thomas - I just like cars :lol:.

I like this woman.

Why do they all look at me funny when I take my computer in to one of those places that does "Computer Spin Balancing" ??

When I ask to have it spin-balanced, they laugh at me...

Somebody got paid for writing this?

Hey!
Florence King got paid big bucks for writing stuff like this most of her adult life.
And I still enjoy enormously reading her stuff from time to time when I feel like being cheered up.

You know, in high school, some friends of mine actually had a girl convinced that her blinkers weren't working because she was low on "blinker fluid."
