I KNOW! LOL!!!! I really wanted to keep it as original as possible. But I've been listening to 5 cassettes for the past week! I'm about to go nuts...

I've had the same CD in my car stereo for over a month.

One time I was in the car with my dad and the stereo got put on repeat and kept playing the same John Mellencamp song over and over. Took about 5 songs to realize it wasn't just the whole CD playing.

I used to live downstairs from this girl who was going through a divorce. She played on repeat the same Phil Collins song for about three weeks, about 8 hours a day.

I still have a twitch.

Found out what was causing the shimmy Tuesday while doing an oil change. The right front tire had a broken belt. I picked up a used tire for 20 bucks and she drives like a dream. But now I have a new problem. The damn oil filter won't come off! I drained the oil and put fresh oil in until I get a chance to take it to a shop. It's too cold to be fighting with that stupid filter. I'll let the pros do it......

Make sure you buy four wheel string. You don't want to be dog tracking. Those poor greyhounds.

If you don't want to punch a hole through it, get some sandpaper, rough up the surface and then try to turn dat bish
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

I tried that too! I even put a pipe wrench on it! Wouldn't budge! It even dented the filter......

Did you warm up the car before trying to remove the filter? I bet the cold winter weather isn't helping.

Yes. Warm it up. What do you use to warm up stuck things? A torch!

I used double sided tape...

Like you I didn't want to have an oil filter that was ripped off with part still stuck on.  None of the local places sold oil filter tools, and it had a metal outer anyway so i don't think the screwdriver would have worked anyway

I've only ever used that on metal ones, and it doesn't leave anything on.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

??

I feared i would shear the metal filter off, leaving the screw part on.

Also, trying to get a screwdriver through the oil filter while it's attached to the Miata's engine is undoable unless you take the engine out

How oil filters are loosened:
98.1% ... oil filter pliers
00.9% ... hands
00.7% ... hammer and screwdriver
00.3% ... it was already loose

So I'm the only idiot in the country that actually buys the correct tool?

There are many different sizes, though. How many are in a set? At least four.
