dunno why I was dumb enough to take my car to RMP for an oil change... 94 ******* dollars later... never again!

TheCaptain

Holy rape batman! I hope you took vaseline or something with you?

Austyn_Balt

and we could have done it in my garage for under 50....

Black07SS

uhh it takes you all of half an hour to do it in a garage...on a driveway...on the street...

you can get a full synthetic oil change at lube city or whatever for like 60 bucks

jmiller15

thanks austyn, i'll keep that in mind for next time... yea with my work hours lately it was easier to take it in, rmp said 56 dollars but neglected to tell me the labor cost they include and ****.. oh well... hey austyn got some hids coming in soon would you be able to give me a hand installing em?

SKCobalt

I get mine changed for 15 bucks at the dealer... i buy my own oil and they just change it for me... works out pretty good since they charge through the nose for Mobil 1 at the dealer.

Austyn_Balt

yeah hids are a piece. Anytime you want just swing by.

TheCaptain

I buy my own, and do it myself! Easy as pie! I don't even have the right socket, i just use a crescent wrench!

Black07SS

buy the gm oil and do it myself. dad refuses to put anything but it in any of our vehicles he would kill me if i used mobil 1 lol

Grow up already, dad can't run your life forever!

I love the oil filter placement... makes the job much cleaner. When I take the filter off my Venture it looks like the Exon Valdez all over again haha.

SKCobalt

The oil filter placement is ok, although it is kinda a pain to get to with the supercharger.

Getting the oil changed in it tomorrow and then putting her to bed for the winter. *sniff*

TheCaptain

Yea, mines already put away... and we don't even have snow yet.

Clint Eastwood

Unless cobalts become some rare collector car mine will never go away. And we all know that won't happen anytime soon, they will just depreciate like none other while they sit in your garages.

SKCobalt

I would rather not have to worry about all the stone chips and salt damage I would get in the winter. It doesn't really bother me about the depreciation thing since I will most likely be having this for a while. I have a winter car to drive and it is cheaper for insurance so I save money there. Everyones situation is different though.

TheCaptain

Definately. I'm not one of those people that trades my car in every five years or whatever. Usually when i buy something, i keep it till it dies. And my Cobalt in storage is much cheaper then driving it around and having somebody run into it. So it doesn't hurt my feelings too much.

heck, dad still has his 86 Caprice Classic he got new in 86! It still looks great for being 22 years old!

Clint Eastwood

Thats understandable, I but I'm 17 and on my 3rd car, and honestly can't see me keeping it that long. A winter beater is neither affordable or needed for me at this point in time.

On another note, I saw SkCobalt just givin her ***** on the ring road about 30 mins ago. haha

Austyn_Balt

ha ha, im 18 and on my 5th and 6th.

So much money wasted lol. Gunna be a long winter financially

TheCaptain

I think i saw him heading to moose jaw yesterday, or at least it was a blue ss/sc rippin down the highway at at least 140 lol

Clint Eastwood

Well you picked a good day to park it, thats for sure. But with winter tires, this car surprisingly good in the winter.

Black07SS

says the kid whos younger than me lol...and theres snow on the ground i kinda need his garage

SKCobalt

Yeah... that could have been me... needed to get some quick shopping done before I went back to MJ.. didn't think I was going crazy fast though.

lol... headed back to Moose Jaw on Friday not Thursday but I left Regina about 6ish

jschatte

ok it wasnt you then haha

TheCaptain

Well, we have our first real snow of the season. About 3-4 cm. Just enough to cover the grass and pavement.
