Ok going to vent a little. Just moved into our new house and getting settled now. Tonight went out cut grass, and decided that I would change my oil. It was at 3500 and I never take it over 3000. Well this new house of ours the garage is small. I cleaned up the last of the boxes to make room for the stang in garage. Well after squeezing it past work bench and going aroung through house to get to hood I was off to a good start. Well I went to put jack under car and couldnt move the damn handle. So then I pulled out the ramps to drive it on and they just slid across floor. At the old house I had 2x4's cut that I would put on back side of ramp to the step to keep them from moving while I drove up on them. Well wrong no way to do this here. So I thought I will just straddle the gutter with left tires on sidewalk. Well guess what! Seems we either forgot a couple of garage boxes or one of my old neighbors picked them up when we where busy. I am missing my two drop lights and all my posters from FFw that where on my garage wall among other little things that where in box. So after I thought about it a while I put the ramp on a chalk and drove right up the thing. Well I got under the thing and started drainging it to only have the pan run over and down our sloped drive way. Why well I will tell you. The wife thought that the vents would be fine closed and since the drain spout on pan was leaking she put cap on the end. So no air..you get my point. So after I get new filter in ect she takes off the CAI and blows it out with air hose puts it back on ....helping out right. Well I open the cabient where I keep oil and other things and she ask HOW MANY QUARTS OF OIL DOES IT TAKE TO FILL? I told her I put 6 in the later I drive it and in morning I add a little more. So I say hey babe can you get me the funnel and some oil off top shelf so I can fill this thing. I have my back to her as she opens a quart and hands it to me. Well as fast as I poor them she is opening them. Well I begin to think wow that is alot. I look on bench to count nad there was 8 emptys... I was like I told you it held 6 well I know but you kept pooring them in..I was only helping. If you dont want my help I will go back in then fine! So now its my fault. LOL So I get back under the thing pull the plug and it drops as oil streams out of the pan. I get the plug back in with oil running down my arm.. Well now I have 12 quarts of emptys on my workbench for trash in morning.! I thinkit is cool that she likes to be in garage and help but sometimes....... She did help me redo the whole upper half of my fox though after I got heads and stuff back from shop when no buddies where around to help. It is nice when I get a new part though and she helps me put it on car. Its funny when someone ask about car and she is there she is first one to open her mouth and tell them all about the car she HATES before I get a chance LOL
