    Yea most all auto shops get paid for the used oil. Stop by one that deals with safety clean the yellow and black trucks and see. If they tell you they have to charge you laugh and walk away. They get paid for the used oil and pretty good too

    I do what work I choose to. I can do so many other things while the truck is worked on.

    One of two guys do my work if I don't do it myself. Rebel127 is the only one allowed into my computer.

    Kool Aid refers to the Jim Jones cult Peoples Temple drinking poisoned Kool Aid - The Jonestown massacre.

    I'm old. I thought everyone knew the reference.

    1978 I believe he told over 900 people that he would take them under his arms and would take care of them and better there life's. Over 900 people were poisoned to death believing every word he said.
