Checking some car related things off my to do list

I will totally own the fact that I'm super weird. Maybe it's more of a guy thing and not so weird. Anyway, typically, I  really enjoyed taking care of my new car.

I also want my kids to know that it's important that we take care of what we have. I think modeling that for them is important.
