In all seriousness though, we learn more than anything about accountability, and responsibility. Part of this is keeping up with your sh*t. So you see such things as foam drawer inserts with pockets for each tool, etc..

wow there must be something wrong with me when i think my HF tools are beautiful and i polish them! i guess i'm just in training trying to get in the habit for when the snappy stuff comes my way

thats why I like buying lightly used tools sometimes easier when someone else gives it the first battle scar

When I was young I only played with one tool. Now I have a whole shop full of them.

I love 70's vintage trucks. That would be an awesome 4x4, and especially unique as there aren't a lot of 70's Dodges around. I always wanted a Fargo.

I had a 98 24V Cummins, now replaced by an 06 Mega Cab. I'm on the upgrade path with it, which is the excuse, uh, reason for some new tools.

This one is especially cool since it's a club cab with a long bed. They are REALLY hard to come by. I've only found 2 in the past 5 years. 1 was too expensive and had crap done to it that I didn't like. It still needed a restore as well. The other one had way too much cancer for my skills. This other one is owned by a friend, and I've been coveting it for years. He's moving soon and mentioned he might "work something out" with me.

a good looking girl or an ugly one
