OT Car insurance rise?

I can manage most of those. I'm not sure why a sonnet is significant, though. Seems a little archaic.

It is to prove you are a sophisticated intellectual with a good command of the language. Yeah, leaves me out.

Access to the sump plug can be a problem if there is a under engine cover fitted and/or the car needs to be jacked up safely to give clearance for crawling under the car. Possibly even more of a DIY problem if you don't have access to off road parking.

And then there is the question of what to do with the used oil and old oil filter. Most california municipalities contract with the waste disposal companies to provide jugs and filter bags to their customers so they can collect it with the normal trash pickup.

Only if you are an ABDL.

Don't you just pour it down the nearest drain :)

Here in the UK my local council tip (Household Waste Recycling Centre) has a large tank for used engine oil.

Mos (all) people in the area covered by my council live within a 5 mile radius of one of the two local Household Waste Recycling Centres

I find the best way to avoid theives is to have something older and dirtier than everyone else.

What do you believe the purpose of rotating is?!

[Commander Kinsey]

Does that mean you have two sets of wheels? Or do you actually remove the tyres from the wheels?

I think America need to split into individual states.

I wouldn't know, I don't service my car.

You do realise punctures can be repaired? If it's too close to the side, find a non-reputable garage to do it, or do it yourself with a repair kit from Ebay.

To change a diaper.... that really does need a mask.

Sonnets are the most horrid invention ever.

You make it go where nobody sees it.

[Commander Kinsey]

Yeah.... isn't that illegal?

[Commander Kinsey]

Nothing to do with thick. It's having all the right tools and having the dexterity to remove rusted things without breaking them or ending up with oil all over everything.

But I don't care, I never change my oil. If the warning light comes on, I take it to the garage. Mechanics like getting dirty.

I bought an 18 year old converted to LPG Range Rover for £300. I owned it for 2 years, during which time 1 year and 8 months it was in the garage. The mechanic shook my hand when I scrapped it.

My IQ doesn't help me determine what equipment somebody else has. The former is expensive (on some cars as much as £4000), the latter requires equipment.
