That's just insulting, ok first you jack up your car or when you have ramps you use them, then you get the right size wrench and position the drip pan so you don't make a mess. you slowly loosen the nut so it doesn't come pouring out. YOu wait a minute for it to drain, then you take the oil filter off and use the old oil to put arond the ring of the new filter and tighted it on the motor. Then you put the car down and put fresh oil in it and then check the dip stick to make sure it has the correct amount of oil. Is that good enough??????

That's easy, I've personally with no assistance changed the head gasket on my miata, plugs, wires, put a new serpentine belt on my taurus, and I know how to do alot of other things too. Cars are my hobby.

Don't know yet, whatever I can afford. I have some gauges that I had in the subie, I can't use the boost lol. I have an air fuel ratio though, I could use. I'm probably gonna get the computer tuned and and exhaust and stuff like that. I put my neons in it.

Um well it's kinda of a sad story. I was going to work and the car had been pulling alot, but I thought that it just needed an alignment so I didn't give it much thought, yeah and it was raining, well for no good reason the car did a 160, and no I wasn't breaking or speeding or excelerating, and then flew off the raod backwards and through a barb wire fence and like 40 ft through cow field. I have pictures I will post. I say it was the tie rod, but the state trooper said I hydroplaned and I never felt the car loose traction, I got a fat careless opps ticket and now I'm going to defensive driving class cause I went to court for the ticket. It was quite a ride, and I hit my head on my gauge pod, got a big bump.

rolfl, I used to be really good with computers, like myspace and stuff, but I got out of the habit, I really can't do much on the work computers, they block everything
