How NOT to change oil

Looks like double dutch to me
I was shown some basic car maintenance jobs. Air filter replacement, changing oil and other such handy D.I.Y. car things. So yesterday afternoon I attempted my first solo oil change. I went out with high hopes; they were promptly dashed…
My first mistake was leaving the car on the inclined concrete driveway. This would lead to a problem shortly after commencing the draining process. In my enthusiasm to get started I neglected to remove the splash guard under the engine. This lead to a rather comical attempt at trying to remove the drain plug from the oil pan. After a fair amount tugging the bolt finally came loose.
