the story of a man who changed his own plugs 10:25 am Open the hood, "so this doesnt look too bad,"
10:27 busted knuckle on the driver side front plug,"this is gonna suck."
10:45 done with driver side
10:46 they only wanted how much to change these?
10:49 "what the hell kinda yoga master are those GM designers who thought this was a good idea."
11:01 **** only two left
11:25 "why did i drink all my beer that sounds great right now"
11:45 last plug out, that wasnt sooo bad, i mean it only took longer than the hole other side.
12:15 done, that god stupid *** GM for not thinking of the next guy who's gotta work on this car.
12:25 driving down the road "I love these GM guys, this is a hell of a car
moral of the story, it not sooooo bad. my first time i did it in two hours. coulda been worse

If you have all the right tools and anorexic arms life is good. If not, add about 3 hours to the normal time. 10mm deep socket would have saved me over an hour.
