jj_jonathon · 08-02-2002, 02:41 AM

woo! its a bit late in the "day" ...but i felt like sharing the info...my new 02 got its first oil change today!

...the only thing they had marked down for me when i left is that i'm low on wiper fluid....lol...good to know

....maybe they should have checked my gas gauge with fluid checks...i was nearly running on fumes!

...i cant believe ive put 3000miles on it already...in only 6 weeks!

...i still have some catching up to do to put miles on a car like my brother (21,000miles in 7 months

)...wait til i do the bi-weekly 200mile trek home from UF to keep my mom feeling needed

...ill be going in for oil changes all the time...heh
