Save money and learn at the same time
10 years ago I bought a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee (yeah, I'm destroying the planet and killing off dinosaurs - piss off!). At the time, I knew it needed a new exhaust system, and brakes. So, I reasearched, invested in floor jacks and a lift, bought the parts online and did it over a long weekend. I made many wrong turns and it took a while, but I did it.

I've also done the air system, installed a cd changer, upgraded lights, cabin air filters, etc. I have no official training, but from.simple things like changing oil and filter to new rotors and pads, it has saved a lot over the years .... all from being willing to try and sticking with it.

My girl started driving this year, so I allow her to drive it. I know she's safe in the snow and won't be flattenedlike a bug if she's in an accident.

I have to answer to her mother.
And everyone knows supermodels are make believe.

I just dumped a gallon of dirty oil into the lake in your honor.

So, if you pollute a wetland because I called you an earth-hater...
why not open up a vein, you self-loathing arsehole? =)

Thank you for the smiley face, otherwise I might have cried
Actually, nope, no self loathing here! Quite happy and content.

And, I'm really handsome and have a lovely singing voice
It's to late for me - I have procreated and drive cars. I am ruining the world because I am not a) a government elite; b) a celebrity; or c) a rich political donor. Driving big SUVs is appropriate for them, but sinful for common scum.

I think it comes from being from Australia
Although I have a good friend from Sydney who is more the "hail fellow, well met" type, so who knows.

How is this a money saving tip?
When it costs £10 in fuel just to turn the engine over?

Nay.
Better exhaust and air cleaner, combined with high efficincy plugs make my mpg quite high, in fact only 10 below my friends Prius.
