just to break the drain plug loose. it was fucking crazy.
and the last people to touch the car? Walmart.
Exactly the reason the oil plug should not be the same size as the lugnuts.

I cant remember who changed the oil in my dads S-10 last (it was freezing outside and I guess he didnt feel up to it) but I couldnt even get the fill cap off. Now thats f'n rediculous.

Nah. They can handle that. Its not a car tire or anything.

Seriously though, I have given it thought.. and I'm just going to fly it to the honda plant in japan to have it done.


Another anti wal-mart story: A friend's mom brought her brand spanking new expedititon into wal-mart for an oil change. On her way home the drain plug fell out, drained the oil, and blew up the motor. She said she smelled the oil but just figured they had spilled some on the exhaust or something and it was burning off. They bought her a new motor, but the mechanic they used botched the install, and it had all kinds of electrical problems after that, wal-mart pretty much told her to eff off, as did the mechanic. She sold it off.
