    As soon as I was able, I promptly learned how to change my oil at a JiffyLube. Hey, I can even do that in a kilt if I like!

    I'm with Rex on Jiffy Lube but as someone who's father was a mechanical engineer and refused to pay anyone to do something he could do better I'd have to say -- BUY A CREEPER -- money well spent. ith:

    Now THAT is great advice! Especially in this heat!
    The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.

    I changed my oil while kilted but I was in my garage and I just positioned myself as I always do and was quite comfortable. I wouldn't recommend it as there's always a risk of getting oil on a fine piece of clothing. I just did it for the experience of seeing what it would be like. Just like the time I climbed a ladder to clean leaves off the roof. My wife said I should never climb a ladder again wearing a kilt and especially after drinking a beer. Actually I just did this to see her reaction!
