I'm glad I don't drink while working on cars, didn't realize it could be that expensive. If you leave out the drinking part, my oil changes pretty much go just like that.

the only thing missing is the part when you get hot ashes in your eye from the cigarettes and in a hurry to get it out you drop the cigarette on you and hit your head on the bottom of the car
