In fact, most of my tools were made in Taiwan and/or purchased out of the $.99 bin at the hardware store. Oh, a couple of older ones were made in the USA. humfrz |

I sometimes feel like I missed my calling. The most enjoyable jobs I had were those with small employers where I got to manufacture and fabricate my own prototypes. I've been making chips off and on since, as a young teen, my dad took me in to his work on the weekends and cut me loose in their huge R&D facility. Thank you, Columbus McKinnon and thank God I slipped in just under wire before OSHA grew it's long arm.

My father made a decent retirement living in the swap shop business. One of the things he did was go to yard sales, buy semi-broken Craftsman tools, take them to Sears, get new ones, and then sell them in his booth for about 50%-75% of retail. I've done the same, but kept the new ones for my own use.

Don't drive it much, I decided I'd get a less comfortable but faster car as a weekend toy. Getting a 2zz MR2 Spyder
Without a tune, it still pulls harder than the FRS at low rpm since it weighs 20% less. I also prefer the rear heavy handling. Sent from my Redmi 3 using Tapatalk |
