i just bought a new prius. whoo. it's the first car i've ever purchased. i'm 24. i had a brand new camry when i turned 16 from my parents, because i am a spoiled baby..which is probably why mocha is too.
anyway, my dad was a mechanic and he used to do all my oil changes for me. for my new car, i had him teach me how to do it. and really, it's not worth paying $20 something dollars for.
i'm learning how to be self sufficient nowadays, and so my dad, my bf , and my cousin (who works for toyota) are all teaching me to maintain my car myself.
