I had time yesterday afternoon to do the front brakes and change the oil on the minivan. Labor would have been about $130, but I had the time and my 5 year old was thrilled to watch/pretend he's helping. It's nice not to spend the money for just swapping parts, and it's nice to just tinker.

Oh, and the "I didn't break the car!" feeling when you get everything back together and it works is pretty good too.
