    (shrug) Maybe I weigh too much? I know Europeans have trouble imagining the size 14 hombre -- now let's talk about what that size 14 EE guy weighs!

    Underground Lair of the Squankum

    BTW, based on my soccer camp summers as a yute many decades ago, I wanted a pair of Adidas sandals like the cool adults had back then. I finally got a pair about 15 years ago, and sure, they give a jolt of pain massaging sensation when you first put them on, but then, one by one, the little...

    This was a lot more entertaining than I expected. The 1956 Southern 500 at Darlington, SC. 120 mph! Beauty queens! Purolator oil and air filters, endorsed by Smokey Yunick! Lots of other appearances by Smokey and crew here, too. There's a fire on the course! Yellow flag, please slow down some...

    Yeah, that guy on FB who was touting it, I'm assuming that his idea of what is a normal amount of sockets, ratchets, and extensions and the like is a much smaller collection than what is normal to us sickos here.

    Do the instructions have any warnings about not sticking it in your ear? I think somebody's going to try to clean out their ear wth that thing. Somebody very stupid. All of a sudden the ear candles I saw a Wal-Mart last month aren't so bad.

    A friend of mine, semi-handy, came across some guy's story on Facebook. An average high-mileage non-performance Subaru driver needed spark plugs and was flummoxed by the rear plugs, took it to the dealer, they quoted him something like $700 to do the two rear plugs, they wanted to unbolt the...

    Excellent! The cheap impact extensions I got went from wobble to fix when pushed in, if you weren't careful, usually in a tough situation, and it's annoying. Nice to have a tool that does its special feature when you ask it to. " but will NOT prevent you from going from fixed to wobble." Being...

    You're not the first not-new person at GJ to ask about Epstein's Day this year! We had several others discover it this year, and it was the biggest ever by a mile. Maybe next July 4th weekend? But until then, they're still taking orders every day.

    Underground Lair of the Squankum

    Lug nuts are glued, traditionally with 3M Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive, to the wheels before race day. When a pit crewman jumps over the wall with a fresh tire under their arm, the lug nuts are already glued to that wheel. No longer done in NASCAR in the top series (NASCAR Cup) as...

    In one of the above videos about the Wood Brothers, one of their tricks was to put a spinner handle on the close end of a four-way lug wrench. Well, pneumatic impact guns came along soon enough. The guns were modified to go faster and faster, and run on nitrogen. A look at a NASCAR pit stop...
