Default How's this for weird...?

Today's the Corvette's birthday, and I'm going to do an oil change. (Okay, that's not weird.)

I go to the store and buy an oil filter.

For change, I get 2 quarters and random other coins...

The quarters are 1 1978 and 1 Indiana state quarter with the Indy 500 cars on it...

-Steve

PS I'm using a fram XG5. I'll give it a shot. :)

I really liked the fram XG5. I went up from an AC DelcoPF25. The filter held quite a lot of oil, and I think oil pressure is way up from what it was with the regular sized filters.

I used a PF35 a couple changes back, and I honestly think that the Fram has higher oil pressure then the PF35 did. It looks pretty trick, too. Cost was ~$12.
