After a crazy week at work I got to come home and work on the car. Oil change and a little TLC. How many other people "unwind" while working on your cars?

Modding, detailing, etc. my Corvette is therapy for me! It's relaxing, I enjoy it, I don't consider it work and it seems when I'm working with my hands, I get better ideas for other areas of my life/career.

Once I get a 4-post lift, Good God, look out!

My car hasn't had it's first oil change by me yet. Goodness man, is that what I'm going to have to do to get it all to drain?

Actually, if you can get the rear end a little higher than the front, you'll get most of oil out of the pan. For some reason, the drain plug is at the front of the oil pan.
