He made sure we could change a tire, change the oil, change the spark plugs, and change the battery (never heard anything about batteries and concrete though I think the guy was putting you on since the battery is sealed it shouldn't matter).

It's great.)Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394393707234499156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28671830.post-669337342845166892009-10-25T17:24:12.942-07:002009-10-25T17:24:12.942-07:00i wouldnt have a clue how to change a battery. if ...i wouldnt have a clue how to change a battery. if my car died and jay wasnt around, id totally be hoofin' it. i dont even pump gas. but im special (retarded) that way. id be totally comfortable living somewhere where i didnt need a car and could walk or take public transportation.<br /><br />why couldnt you set it on the concrete? would it drain it or something?
