I feel so grown-up!

This weekend, after confessing to my father that I in fact did not own a tire gauge, he taught me some car basics. I now know how to:
  • Check my tire pressure
  • Fill my tires with air (despite the machine being loud and scary)
  • Check the oil in my car
  • Actually (for the most part) change the oil in my car
  • Jump start a car
  • Add coolant and wiper fluid (two separate compartments, not the same one!)
  • Open the hood.
All things that I should have known how to do ages ago, but did not. But now I know! Next, I want to learn how to change a tire. I know I have AAA, but there's no reason for a grown woman not to know how to change a tire in her own car.
