Tool talk

[rod]

I still have an old crossbar lug wrench in my garage. Much better than the crap new cars come with.

I carry one in my camper otherwise we carry a AAA card (lazy mans lug wrench)

I love AAA.....hubby was in a friend's rental car in Hawaii. They locked the keys in the car. AAA came out because a member was in the car. Great service and discounts better than AARP........I cut up my AARP card and throw away any mail they send to me. They were in favor of Obamacare so I don't want anything to do with them.

At first I was like well 1000 ft lbs isn't that much. It's the 15,000 rpms

I was watching the stops at Sonoma and heard those guns singing and wondered to myself what sort of pressure they were using to get that pitch.

Do you have tool envy?

It gets the job done.

This thread is for people that have a certain amount of enthusiasm. Living people.

We always kept AAA for when the kids were driving junkers. My daughter used it quite a bit when she was in college. The wife likes to keep it because she is always going someplace with her gal friends. I never joined AARP. I figured when they started hinting that I was old when I was only 50 -screw them. They still send me a free "temporary" membership card at least twice a year. I have used it to get a discount at a few places that don't give a AAA one.

AARP is very anti gun also.

AARP morphed from an organization that really tried to help retired people to little more than a liberal activist group.

Sure. If one of your bells or whistles break, you just rent another car.

I purchased the "bells and whistles" extended warranty.

I used to work at a dealership and the selling of the warrantys was their biggest money maker!! best profit!! You would think it would be undercoating (like in Fargo)

I drive like a little old lady going to church on Sunday. This car will last forever.

Bells and whistles tend to break.

There are plenty of wrench monkeys such as yourself who can fix it for me.

Thankyou for helping to stimulate the economy. I prefer the term Technician.

No problem.

Wrench monkeys with skills far beyond any you have.

Stop being a fool, Dave.
