Mike insisted that I blog about changing the oil on the mini cooper last night. Sorry for my cheesy photos. Hehe. I jacked the car up, unscreewed the bolt underneath the car (which was no small task) and drained the oil. The car was still fairly hot so I was being a chicken about the hot oil spraying out on me once I got the bolt loose. Mike kept saying "There are women who do much more on their cars everyday...now you are going to change your oil"! And actually it was easy in the end. I could do it again by myself.
These are just the final moments when I was happy again and was tightening the oil filter and putting the new oil in. I wouldn't let Mike take any photos when I was under the car with dirty oil on my hands being a chicken.

I love that you did this! I remember my dad forcing me to change the oil and in the end it was a great feeling of accomplishment for me! Think about it this way, at least you have a car that needs oil changed. Because Jen there are a lot of women out there who don't even have a car! :)
LO
you go girl!
the oil change was amusing; probably not so much for you
i laugh that lo was the first to comment on your oil change. it is true that before we got our license we had to show my dad that we could change our own oil and change a tire. i changed oil on all my cars up to the point when i got married and tony refused to change the oil and insisted on jiffy lube. i'm proud of you though, there is such a freedom and confidence that comes along with being able to do these trivial tasks. glad mike made you=)
