Except that I had second thoughts. Jack and jack stands. Hot oil that would=
have to be recycled. Radiator coolant and radiator flush that would have t=
o be disposed of.<br>
<br>
So, this morning as soon as the local independent tire shop (Skips's Tires =
for you NorCal locals) I called my buddy Sam there and asked when he could =
do the oil change and radiator flush today. Two hours at the local shop, us=
ing my oil, filter, and radiator fluid, and $60, with the oil and coolant i=
n his hazmat tanks, and we're all much happier. During that time I sat in h=
is waiting room with my lap top and wrote a piece for RM Auctions for which=
I'll be paid $150. <br>
<br>
Though oil changes used to be the one thing that we shade-tree mechan=
ics could manage to do without screwing up, I really think in this day and =
age we should look at comparative advantages of professional shops and tech=
nicians versus amateurs in the driveway, and leave these routine tasks to t=
he pros.<br>
