haha I was thinking today how funny (or sick) it is that I refuse to go to the doctor or hospital for anything no shots nothing but damnme to hell if I ever missed a oil change by a mile or forgot to change my tranny fluid at 15,000 miles. any other clowns on here think like this ,, that car maintance is more important then healthI

Nope for me too...but then again, if I treated my vehicles the way I treat my body, then they would never see the dealership unless something broke!

Ditto; As a certified health freek/ vegetarian, The old line is "would you treat your car that way?"... Most people put such low quality toxic food into their bodies; which is hard not to do; that if they treated their car that way, it wouldn't make it out of the driveway.

No one. Especially if you ignore your health and end up dying early.

I take care of my car,
my wife forces me to take care of myself - probably not a bad thing in the long term =)

iI'm nursing two arms worth of lateral epicondylitis 'cause of my DIY shenanigins. I replaced two trucks worth of front rotors and pads and struggled with some seized lug bolts and will likely be on the mend for a few monthes becasue of it. Oh well beats the stress and worry associated with gasp....thinking about the alternative....taking the cars somewhere else to have someone else work on them.....

That's usually a repetitive stress injury (tennis elbow), you must have done some serious wrenching...
