In the US (or at least the regions I'm familiar with) boosting a car is stealing it, I was so confused. Finally realized it means "jump" over here, which ironically is a synonym for robbing someone.

We use the terms pretty interchangeably, but I have heard boost as steal before.

I am VERY CAREFULLY refraining from laughing at you because I share the exact same curse that you do, and frankly, I am SO GLAD I've got a mechanic I can trust. Because otherwise the car would be sit there with flowers and shit growing out from under the hood because: I tried to change the oil filter and it fucked up.

I can't even change a tire, so you're ahead of the game there. :)

I can't change a tyre because I'm physically incapable, but I do know how to, that said it's redundant since I don't have a car. But wires and shit! I love that stuff. Especially heat shrink tube. Get some of that shit, it's fun!

This reminds me... I need to fix the trailer plug on my van. May I borrow your wire strippers?
