As a Do It Yourselfer, I never rely on mechanics to change my car’s spark plugs because I rather save the extra $50 in labor.  It’s not hard and for most import cars, it’s easy as wrenching out the spark plugs.  For domestic cars, you might have to unscrew some car parts but still, it’s very do-able and once you get the hang of it, you will start saving money on car maintenance for the future.

You’ve probably noticed that YouTube has been putting 30-second ads randomly before videos start.  Well, there’s a really simple hack that lets you skip the 30-second ad.  Simply, reload the site. The 30-second ads only appear randomly, meaning if you open new YouTube videos or simply re-open them, you won’t see them.
