    craftsman toolboxes at lowe’s

    Another way to get the 44 for less is to sign up for the inside track club thing they have IF they will let you use a coupon on the 44 for signing up. If you look at the 350 price and take 20 percent (25 would be better if they have one at the time) it comes out to 280. Then add the 30 bucks for...

    3 car plus tandem

    Having a computer in the shop is really handy for looking up parts or disassembly procedures. I keep an older laptop around for just such a purpose.

    How can you do this to your car

    And I get all ocd about it if a little bit of dirt gets on my vehicles carpet. I would flip a pancake seeing any cars with trash build up like that.
