the art of car maintenance

HOM and i have spent the day trekking the car mechanic trail. our final stop is the auto parts store, where we meet an enthusiastically helpful fellow, as a result of which, we are no longer shopping for a mechanic. instead, over my absolute reservations, we have shopped for the brake pads and rotor as well as brake cleaner grease tools and halogen lamp.

HOM and J1 are now in the garage, fully seduced into the d-i-y brigade. with youtube at their side, they are attempting to give my toyota new brakes.

update: HOM and J1 are making our third trip to the store tonight, for another missing part. update 2: we are back from our fourth trip.
