I have changed my oil in the past. When I was in the Marines and stationed in Camp Pendleton I use to take my car to the base hobby shop and change the oil and spark plugs myself on my 1985 RX-7. That car was so easy to work on. Lots of space in engine bay!

Funny thing is I use to be happy, but somewhere along the line I developed a bad case of musclerexia. I look in the mirror and see a skinny guy.

In comparison to the normal population I am huge, but I have bodybuilder standards so I constantly focus on what needs improvement and what empty spaces need more mass.

yeah changing the oil on this car isn't really super hard, but it's just a PITA to get such a low car up on ramps or jacked up first, then take off the plastic undertray etc before you can even get your hand on the oil filter.
I'm too lazy to do that or at least seems like a drag thinking about doing all that stuff first. I just have it done while it's on the lift getting other work done at my tuner shop and they basically charge me for 15 min of labor aside from the oil that I bring them. I'd still rather do it myself than have a normal oil changing shop or nissan do it
Actually I'd just rather not have some grunt at one of those places trying to figure out how to drive my car into the bay
I love my wife's jeep - it's already lifted high up so you just crawl under there and change the oil. About as easy as it gets

I dump my oil down the kitchen sink 
- lol jk
lol nah I put the oil in a canister of some kind and after it's completely full of oil/coolant, etc late at night I leave a gift for a local oil change shop by one of their garage doors. It's actually kinda fun, my wife and I do it as a "hit and run" style - dim the lights etc lol
They ripped me off in the past so I feel no pitty for them, and really probably isn't any extra hassle for them since they store the crap in barrels that they take somewhere
normally you're supposed to take it to a shop and pay a $5 disposal fee
I agree though, it's almost just easier to have a shop do it and not deal with the mess.
I take my celica (daily driver) to shops. That car is a PITA to change just about anything on - especially the air filter. Those engineers need to be slapped or something

You take the pain until it's time to eat again and then try to convice yourself about how good that oat meal and those egg whites taste. 
A very small portion of the population has what it takes to stick with a diet like that where you count every freaking calorie!
A very small portion of the population has what it takes to stick with a diet like that where you count every freaking calorie!It really comes down to what your goals are. Fighters don't have the body builder look cuz they train like fighters. I was hard into body building for a while. Got ripped in all, but when it was time to train for fighting, your workouts go more toward strength than the way you look. Some have good genes and can have both at the same time. I'm a hard gainer but when I train for strenth and stamina...you gotta have a little fat. Totally ripped...I slow down quicker...gotta little fat in the tank.....I last longer in the ring. Weight class is another variable. If you try and get to or stay in a particular weight class...that puts another twist on your looks. And the way I train to throw down is ALOT harder than BB training....by a long shot -and I use to do 2-a-days hitting 5 exercises per muscle group when BBing (2 muscle groups per visit to the gym).
This is a weird ending to FI thread...have to agree with you Bert.

Dam, I was supposed to run this customers credit like an hour ago and got sidetracked reading this thread. Good job!
P.S. If I was a buisness owner, I would conduct myself accordingly. Not that I would have got tuned there, SGP is my tuner, but I lost some respect for MRC after reading the threats and all. Pretty unprofessional.
and +1 to Jeremy and shariff too. Seem like 2 good buisness/guys.

I would rather put my car in the hands of Julian than the retards in CT.. thats why i drive 4 hours everytime i need any work done. So you can make your assumption based on online personalities and ignore peoples abilities.

Customer Service goes the looongest way in this business. Along with producing cars that run like they are supposed to.
YOU GUYS SHOULD CHILL OUT OR THIS WILL HAPPEN!!!
