Anyway, I'm getting tired of l ... |

Good morning from sunny but very icy Minnesota!
When the temps consistently drop into the negative 20s and 30s, I have absolutely no motivation to go and work on any car. Even with a heater, it's ... |

I'm having a heck of a time trying to unplug the oil pan. I've read that if it was tightened too hard, then I might as well buy a new oil pan. Is that true? Ugh...
I will have to use some penetr ... |

Well, so it begins. I finally took a deep breath and put on my armor, sharpened my sword, and trekked into my garage to confront this German beast. I knew it was going to be bad, but I'm worried tha ... |
