Fingers crossed. I do not want to lose my 40th if possible.

If you are hoping to keep your Z, then that is terrific news indeed

Fingers and toes crossed.

Yes, I want to keep her if possible and if she I brought back into spec -- totally.

She's a 40th. She is modded perfectly to my tastes and driving style/ability.

I hope you don't mean "pork" swords. That's a mental image that would stay with me, keep me up at night, wake me from my restful slumber in terror when it intrudes into my dreams and require more therapy than I could afford.

I'm pretty sure it has a clutch because that's what slips when you exceed the torque you have set. Is slip clutch used in an impact driver?

many of the tools look worn and dirty, but they are far better quality than the comparable tools you buy nowadays. I like my tools dirty, it means they're well used and battle-tested

ahhh, i have a 9.6v or something by ryobi from the days. got that for father's day like 7-8yrs ago. battery died in no time.

yah, slip clutch on the driver when torque is exceeded. my corded drill does not have it. my cordless driver obviously has it.

my impact driver has a hammering action to add more torque to tighten or loosen, but does not have a torque slip dial. so you have to kind of learn how many sec the hammering is needed to reach a certain amount of torque, then use a torque wrench from there.

my 18v impact (3/8 drive) has about 160lbs/ft so it had no problems loosening the nuts during the swaybar i installed a few weeks back.

it's a handy compact tool to have to do these smaller jobs.

Oh, it's much more than "pork" swords.

I believe so...

I get all my weekend wear from Sam's or various Z-car suppliers.

The shorts meet my criteria: They go almost to my knees when standing and have storage space.

I almost feel this happy today.

btw, not sure if you saw my quick post yesterday, but my LED's in the maplights do not illuminate while driving. at least not that i could see.

Whuttt? You have LEDs in your map light? Are these attached to your rearview? You don't have the Homelink mirror, do you? I miss the hell outta the map lights that were on my last self-dimming mirror. They were so unobtrusive. Now, in order for my wife t check something out, she has to turn on the overhead.

Edit: Wait a sec, are you guys talking about the dome light?

I would be happy pushing them around too!
