Big ol' Dang

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

There's something cathartic about changing my own car's oil.

Something relaxing about having tarry, hot car-blood missing the oil pan entirely and having the bolt and washer slip through my fingers and sink to the bottom of those inky depths.
There's something meditative about lying down, head to heaven, reaching through smoking car guts to change the oil filter, in having half-a-pint of dirty dead oil hit my face and in deep finger cuts from half rusted assembly.

And then, when those ten minutes of relaxation are over, I can ruminate over how I saved four dollars and fifty cents by not taking it to the quick-speedy-jiffy-dang-ol-lube. And even after all of that, I get to wave it over everyone's head, this elitist air, the fact that I can locate an oil reservoir  and untangle a bolt, and call everyone else Suckers.
