It's official...

Me and the Trans Am are married. Once you change a car's fuel filter, you and the car are committed for life!!

Next time...I won't do it on black asphalt with my dear friend, the Texas Sun. If you excuse me...I'm going to go put out the FIRE that's on my arm!

**cammed goat** · 06-24-2009, 12:37 PM

What...did...you...do...?

You didn't burn yourself did you?

**Norrie** · 06-24-2009, 12:39 PM

Congrats on the marriage!

ROFL, that's what makes it so much fun... seeing if you can finish up and get out all in one piece with minimal carpet burn.
Seriously though, in June, in Texas, I wouldn't be caught dead under the car. Well... dead may actually be the only way I'd be caught under the car but you get the idea. How much would someone charge to change it? You had to be sweating out the beer quicker than you could ingest it.

That was her way of marking her territory, kinda like a dog.

i have no idea how much it is to have it changed, i figured i could do it myself after hearing some other f-bod guy change it on his camaro, next time i'll just know to find some covered spot to do it.
