I've got one on my truck and one on the van.
I use a Horrible Freight 12V pump to drain oil.
Kinda slow, but it works.

I pull through parking spots when possible with the truck. If I can't do that then I back in.

Beth finally understood why I do that when she was forced to drive the truck for a week when her car was in the shop 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If it’s a Super Crew cab and long bed, it’s definitely easier to back into parking places, if they’re not angled parking. Ain’t no way to do that without being pointed in the wrong direction when it’s time to leave. We had a few customers that started requiring backing into spaces on their mill sites for safety reasons (easier to avoid backing out in front of traffic).

That's half my customers as well. Plus company policy where I work.

This is totally lost on anyone under 50. I can’t count the times I’ve heard “you owe me!” Between 3 of my own, 3 stepkids, and 3 grandkids over the past 45 years, I’ve had my share of demands for “wants” and tried to explain the difference between wants and needs. If they were persistent, my reply was always the same; “Rent is due today.” Had I ever had the nerve to say ”you owe me” to my folks, I’m sure physical violence would have occurred. But I keep getting told I have to have a gentler touch with younger generations. To which my response is “No one was gentle with me, and I’m the one that everyone wants something from.” I have what I have because I left home at 17 with $20 in my pocket fully aware that I was capable of getting anything I wanted as long as I was willing to work for it. THAT is what understanding what a parent does is. We all want better for our kids, but some of us probably have a pretty low bar for measuring what “better” is.

We are all speaking the same language here and the interpretation is the same. Sadly or gladly, even the same mold casts a different individual each time. Same parents, same upbringing, and completely different offspring.

Even my personal family has not escaped heartache and tragedy.
