For FOUR hours these legs stuck out from under our van, at least the hairier of the two sets. But with perseverance that would make a gold medalist blush, oil was drained, filters were twisted, turned, poked and pounded, fathers consulted, screw drivers broken, WD40 employed, and finally a seal was broken with the resulting resolution to never return to a "quick lube" so obviously incapable of reading the label "hand tighten only."But in a young boys eyes, a hero was made in a pool of sweat and oil that afternoon, wearing the golden medal of fatherhood.
(And the rest of us sighed with relief at not having to push the van back to the "quick lube" to get our filter off.)

Hey guys! That is such a sweet picture! I remember my dad looking like that (half eaten by the vehicle) on numerous occasions.
JL, you once mentioned something about Fels Naptha. I am trying to make my own laundry detergent, but can't find that stuff anywhere. Where do you buy yours??
I'm glad the filter top gave up residence and "left the vehicle". Peter looks like a natural. Who else is under there?
Love Gia
