when my mother was learning to drive, granddad made her learn how to change a tyre before she got to learn to drive. of course now that she's had surgery on both of her hands she no longer has the strength to be able to change a tyre, but she still knows what to do,...

So this means > if I marry your sister > we take your mum for a drive > get a flat > I get the privilege of having my mother in law telling me what to do as I change the wheel? ;)

Kids these days are slack, Knowing how to change a tyre, come on every car has a manuel. If one cant they shouldnt be driving.

Just the other day across the road from the job site I'm on, this young bloke on his P's called road side assistants to change his tyre. He could possibly of had dirtphobia

Agreed, Definately think that atleast Yr11 and Yr12 get the opportunity to atleast learn the basics or atleast be able to change a spare tyre...

Some schools also have Driver Development Programs, which I think would be a worthwhile investment

I wemt to a high school in adelaide and did auto studies in year 9 amd 10. People used to donate cars and when we had cars of our own we were allowes to bring them in, throw them on the hoist change the oils and all that jazz.. pulled down a few old holden motors, learned how they worked and rebuilt them etc. Then the school tried to go all academic from technical and sucked balls then went super ghetto.. fun times

      I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet

      Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.

      No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.

      I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
