Yesterday I had my brown denim kilt on and I needed to change the oil in my car. Realizing that I would have to crawl under the car (I don't own a "creeper") to remove the drain plug from the oil pan, I decided that performing this act even in a bullet-proof denim kilt would end up exposing myself to any of my neighbors that may walk by. I live in the typical suburban neighborhood - think the Cleavers - and on Sunday it's very active with children on bikes and people out strolling with their dogs or babies in strollers/wagons (even one crazy lady that walks with her cat in a stroller.) So I did the smart thing and changed into a pair of old, faded Levi's.

I know that many of you mention owning "beaters" for doing yard work or auto mechanics, but have any of you actually worked beneath your vehicles while wearing a kilt?
