Weekend is almost here....look to that
Sadly, I made the mistake a week ago when it was cool out. Can't blame the heat!

Similar to what Rice Burner did...

I did my 30k mile service last night, and was going to change the oil jet bolts to the euro spec. I bought a nice aluminum jack, except it's a POS and didn't work any better than my $20 trolley jack, so that sucked... Took almost an hour to get the car up on stands Drained the oil, changed the filter, started to remove the oil pan... took about an hour to get all the bolts and adjoining parts off, and I was just about to pry the pan off when I realized i had only ordered 1 bolt... you need 4... so, I didn't change my oil bolts, wasted 2 1/2 hours, dropped a wrench on my face, have blood on my shorts (don't know where it came from), etc all because I'm an idiot.... Oh well, it's only my time, which is worthless.

LMAO! Makes me feel better to hear that someone else was struggling and feeling frustrated and stupid last night too. Things always snowball don't they. Can anyone recomend a good low clearance jack to me. While it sucks that my other one is done, at least I get a new tool
