        • I HAVE A FEW PONDERS

          Does Barack Hussein Obama have a freaking Drivers License?

          Did He ever Drive a car?

          Did He ever own a car?

          What was his first car?

          Does He wish he had his first car again?

          Did HE or can do a burn out, a Trooper slide, a second gear to first trooper shift, drive off road on propose, get struck in snow or mud/sand, or has ever gotten a speeding, etc ticket (parking doesnt count).

          The list is much longer,
          but I have to stop now or the secret service will be at my door.

          boob

          PS: please ad to my list,

          i am busy in garage installing a electric hybred squirrel generated power pack in 56,
          to make or Presidents (HA,HA) newly required economy standard of 1000 miles / squirrel.

            Now what?
            But it has a lifetime warranty and you can get a new one Right? That's "now what?" Looks like you "used" that wrench in a manner it was not designed for

              I should have known that I would be scolded.

              I was removing a collector bolt (3/8 - 16 -- you would probably call it a header bolt because of the 7/16 head). The threads in the flange are perfect , the threads on the bolt are perfect. The wrench broke in my hand - no cheater bar attached. So regardless if I was using it in correctly - for me to be able to break steel in my bare hands made me feel special (or stupid for buying such high quality tools).

              • Now I have to ponder apologizing to Allen. I certainly didn't mean to "scold" you on your choice of tools and their usage.

                My bad. I was thinking that the only time I was able to break a wrench like that was to hook another wrench or some other "device" around it to get some (OK, a lot) more torque out of it. I assumed (my bad again) that Allen "may" have done the same thing. I should have known that Allen would not/never have done such a thing. I am now sure that it was a freak (Allen or the wrench?) incident. That is why tools and equipment have warranties right...because stuff happens. Just wondering, does the warranty also cover smashed fingers? Perhaps I will have to ponder that question for a while. In the meantime, sorry Allen for assuming you "cheated" that "high quality" wrench

                  I never said I didn't do that - all I said was it broke in my hand AND I did not use a cheater bar on the broken wrench. In fact you might claim that the wrench that broke was the cheater bar! Even so - for an old guy like me to be able to break a wrench made me feel young again. And yes, I did develop a minor leak in one finger as a result of my efforts.

                    Cracks me up, I thought I was the only one that did that. You will learn to prepare for the worst if you continue to do that

                            • Pondering beating tow guy with a tire iron for not paying attention while putting my car on the flatbed. And then taking same tire iron to myself for letting him do it.

                              Spoiler bent back into place thankfully. Whew. Not worth the assault charge afterall.
