Yep, did drums and disks, valves and heads. Now places like O'relies are just wax and grease places.

first car, a '94 chrysler lebaron--tried doing some 'routine' maintenance to it, changing the spark plugs and wires. went with some super-fancy, E3, tri-tip, platinum, 'extreme' plugs. the marketing material said they improved fuel economy, boosted power, and made the motor run smoother!

it was a sideways v6, so the fronts went in easy, but the back 3 plugs took 4-5 hours to get to, as well as learning about car repair and the swear jar.

finally, all done, i go to start it up, and it'll barely maintain an idle. dies nearly every light on the way to see my grandfather(retired chrysler service manager) to show off my new car and the work i did..

pull up in his driveway, and it's chugging like a locomotive at this point.

start telling him all the things i've done to it, and about the super-amazing things that these fancy spark plugs are going to do after they just need a little time to break in a little.

he shrugs, looks the motor over, and says, "we always just put champion's in the cars. never had this sorta problem."

2 weeks later, it was still running like garbage. champions went in. car never ran better after that.

my parents still have furniture with teeth marks from the dog we had as kids going through that phase...
