With original plates even,
what a diamond it will be!
Actually, it's an old '67 plate the P.O. had slapped on there. The car's a '66. I scored some nice '66 plates on ebay.

I didn't look that close at the plates, but I remembered it was a '66...
my father bought one when he came home from 'nam, an SS I think, I know he repeatedly kicks himself in the *** for ever selling it.

they are, the mazda 3 takes a "special tool" to change the oil filter. its not that special, but thats the direction we're headed
yea "big adjustable pliers" thats what we use when we cant find the "special tool"
dealers are ripoff artists. honda's 120k mile service is an oil change with your standard check tires, bla bla bla ****. they charge $150 for it.....it's JUST an oil change. and people pay it. its amazing.
I think it's an 88 buikc, maybe an oldsmobile where the drain plug and the oil filter are one piece. as in "gooooooosh there goes all the oil" and you need a special tool for that shitbox too.
and the landrover's drain plug is like 1-1/8" and their lug nuts are like 1-3/16"...yet the stud is a standard M12... odd.
i hate new cars.
