Honestly, it is entertaining how the thought process is so different.
I started reading the guy's way after the girl's way and couldn't help but think after the first few points it was pretty much true.

Will I now try Jiffy Lube? [censored] no

Here is the 2010 version:

Woman (wife) goes to quick lube joint, 800 miles past 3K mark on window sticker.

Sits in lobby with 1 dollar coffee.
Tech comes out and says, vehicle requires 5W-20 oil, will cost 10 dollars extra for "special oil".
Since 800 miles over due, needs engine flush for an extra 50 dollars.

Air filter has 2 specks of dust, 30 for a new one.
New PCV valve 50 dollars.

Walks out for 150 bucks or so.

Man (husband) Decides to do his car himself.

Logs on to BITOG and posts 75 times about proper oil, filters, air filter, etc.

Goes to Auto parts store. Buys $200 in tools, ramps, oil, filter, etc.

Spends 40 dollars on proper synthetic oil, quality filter. Changes oil. Investment 200. Has all tools to do it again for life of vehicle.

That seems to be reality anymore.

NO, the guy comes to BITOG and gets in a flame war on which oil is the best and promptly forgets about changing the oil.

He doesn't forget about changing the oil, he's just waiting to see what the best oil is - before he changes it.

50-more posts here on BITOG, another flame war, and a 2-week vacation from the board, he finally gets his answer. He then goes to Wal-Mart and buys a jug of PYB.
 
There is another similar one from Dave Barry about man, woman and relationship in to 6th month. I will try to find it.

Actually he never gets an answer. Every time he posts on BITOG asking what dino oil to use, the thread gets hijacked by someone wanting to promote AMSOIL!

Actually the opposite happens on BITOG.

The guy may already be using Amsoil, comes to BITOG and ten people spend days talking him out of it!!!

Better yet - the guy using Amsoil only needs to change his oil once a year!

Also, regarding the female at the quick change place:

$1 coffee? more like $5 coffee !!!
and don't forget the stripped oil drain plug!!!
 
I wouldnt even attempt a project in the garage without beer. Actully I am to the point where I measure time in beers. A oil change is only a couple beers, now a two stroke rebuild, thats a at least a six pack.
