- 19 mm deep socket = $6.00
- breaker bar = $18.00
- band aid for finger after hammering accident = $.50
- Total = $24.50

Being able to take off the stripped/cracked cheap mcgaurd stock wheel lock, and installing new wheels = Priceless.

It happened the day after I bought my car and drove it home from CO. I had to get it smogged to do the paperwork. The guy kept talking crap about my car and how it would never pass with the mods it has. He told me I made a horrible buy, and I kept refuting his ignorant statements. I guess he decided to fck up my car and try to make money down the line. The car passed with FLYING colors which I could tell pissed him off. It took a while before the hole he made broke through because the hose is so thick. Smelled gas when driving, and I found out what had happened. That place is so shady, I don't know why I went back there. Figured it was just a harmless smog test

I patched it up but never replaced it which I need to do soon.

The look on my coworkers face after I bought his 92 SC400 for 2K. It was the before and after ride and looks of the car that was priceless to me.. He had no clue what he had or the potential of it. This goes to show you what happens when you make too much money, you loose your senses!
