Oil changes

I finally got my oil changed today, at over 1,000 miles over. I can't help it man, I drove 700 miles in one weekend last month! I wish there was more I could do to help alleviate these rising gas prices but unfortunately I do a hell of a lot of driving in order to pick up the baby, go to Job #2, take my mom to the Dr., etc. But I digress, as I am wont to do!

I decided to splurge and go to Jiffy Lube, as I found a $5.00 off coupon on their website. I hadn't been there in 23,000 miles (they told me today) b/c I've been going to the grimy corner convenience store/grease monkey mechanics that charge $16.95 for oil changes. But I thought me and my car could use a little splurge, plus JL fills your fluids, checks tire pressure, washes the windows and vacuums, which corner grease monkey does not do. Still, the final price was $27.99. Ouch! Is JL really worth it? I guess... but only every 23,000 miles.
