I just want a foxbody i can beat the shit out of and throw affordable parts at. Is that too much to ask out of life? Or a Fairmont or LTD, even.

I'll buy one someday. In the meantime I'll spend my freetime on craigslist.

I love talking tools, though I admit I talk about them as often as I use them.

Toolmonger.com is a neat little blog that does tool reviews, I'll check it out when I'm at work and not working.

90% of my stuff is Craftsman, 10% Matco. Matco makes some really nice ratchets and sockets. I especially like their sockets. They just seem to fit better, as they are designed to engage the sides of a bolt rather than the corners. Thus less rounding.

That said, I never use anything often enough to justify Matco prices. I'm in a auto tech class at night, so for two years I got a 58% discount on Matco's monthly specials, and I took advantage of it. If you are in any kind of auto-related classes for 8 credits or more, I suggest you check it out, it's very easy to sign up and order online.

Wow, your garage is rad. My only nitpick, which may be totally unfounded, is I've been taught to always store tools so that they aren't touching other metals, as this leads to rust. So I'd put your wrenches on a carabiner whittled from bamboo OH LOL

Keep the wrenching tips coming, and I'll keep learning.

I liek forums. I haven't spent much time on hooniverse forum yet, but ten minutes in I was surprised to learn that 75% of hooniverse's readership consists of Sys Admins. I'm gonna go check it out now.

Judgmental guy with a checklist lol jk lol

Wow, you are right up in everything. Awesome post!

The only thing that could have made this post better would be if you could hear the 510 driver in the video yell out "My Balls!"
(Honestly, I was really hoping for that.)

Great write up, Phillip!

Glad to have you here, great first post!

I have like forty Altoids tins at my work I can't bring myself to throw out, but I have no idea what to do with them. If I get up to 200, I'm building a suit of armor.

Dangit, I thought this was the comment that was gonna get me to 65p. Life is hard!

I'd give it four stars, but I was expecting to hear some metal. /metalsnob
Looks like fun, good on them.
