Yeah, ditto, except my friends who are techs at places, I'll leave it with them, but only for the stuff I can't do, like put my own tires on or an alignment, or for something that is *way* easier with a lift.
Seriously.. and even then I'd rather know I have a new washer and an OEM filter anyway, and that my oil cap actually got put back on, etc.
Well worth the 20min it takes me (10 of which is putting the car up and down on my stands cause I have to drive up on blocks before jacking it up cause I'm so low lol).
I get Mobil1 5w30 full synth at Costco for 32$/6qt, so it's actually quite a bit better deal than paying per/qt at Orielly or something.

Gotta agree with Lefty there.....DJ has just begun t get the itchy mod bug...
Lets see I decided to look at my spending this way....
To listen to the stereo........... $2400
To sit in the seats..................$1500
To Stop the car.....................$350
To ride on wheels/tires............$1100
To steer car..........................$500
To tighten up suspension.........$200
Odds and ends.......................$600
Period button.........................$5
Still got Airride,gauges,interior,and God knows what else.....but honestly the car is looking pretty nice now,I enjoy it every day,and that is what counts.

I lost count, I will have to add it all up last time I checked I was at like 19k in mods and have some 1500. still not on the car still in the closet. It's spooky to think about how much you have in mods and the price of the car you drive
I have more in this one car than my 1st house cost.....
