   My wife uses that exact same excuse on me all the time. :->   
   If someone doesn't want to do something, there are always excuses for why.   
      
   I watched the videos. Doesn't look all that hard.   
      
   Of course, youtube videos only show the tires that worked out well.   
   But some of those videos were of some guy in his back yard, another set of   
   guys in a garage, and even one was an old Asian guy in his pajamas and   
   slippers in his driveway. So I doubt it's too hard if you want to do it.   
      
   Same thing I tell my wife.   
   So that might not work on you either. :->   
      
   It seems like it's easy to do at home if you like working on your car.   
      
   If you don't like working on your car, then nobody can talk you into even   
   doing an oil change, as the main excuse people use who never did things is   
   that they don't want to do them (which is a perfectly good excuse).   
      
   But this should be the type of group for people who actually like doing   
   things for themselves instead of paying people to wash behind their ears.
