You'd be bored to death... Drive car to dealer or independent shop, fill out paperwork, leave. Then come-back later and pay ungodly amounts for the oil ($20+ per quart). Drive until next oil change is required by manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

Dunno, in the right outfit it could still work.

I'd try it, but I don't think I'd look that good in one of those outfits.

Ask your surgeon to add a little cleavage next time!

I prefer the way you do it, despite the big mess we made last time.

If you'd [try to] do it like these ladies, I think I could not stop laughing... we'd never get it done.

Not to throw a wet t-shirt on things, but no jack stand is necessary for an SM, or any hydro-pneumatic Citroen. They can get high and stiff suspended all by themselves.

Great cars, btw. Nice shop that has a pair or three.

What goes up, must come down. Trust you life to French suspension technology you should not.

Now for some reason I feel the need for some cheese, some wine and a Gauloise.
