|
| part or how to repair anything. You used
| |
| | gear shift into park. Her face was so
|
| to be able to pull up to a gas station,

| | red!I remember that she made me a nice
|
| where someone would actually come out and
| |
| | dinner to try and make up for it and we
|
| pump the gas for you, check your oil and

| your own groceries. There's a book on how
| |
| | to teach her all the basics.We sort of
|
| "dummies" can learn to do anything by

|
| lessons learned.One of the few things
| |
| | was. We changed the oil in the car and
