If you're an of age male who can't change your own oil, you're not a man. Also note the setup, cinder blocks and wood. No fancy jacks or stands. And wrenches and rachet set... #grownostr #masculineframe #fullsynthetic
My mind was blown when, years ago while working at a servo, I noted to a fella that his brake light was blown. He said that he'd take it to the shop. I pointed at the replacement bulb on the wall.
