What was the last thing you bought?

Very good idea. It's pretty well known that the rookies of the shops always get thrown on tire duty. Many don't inflate to the right pressure; many don't tighten the lug nuts enough or they go too far and break a lug, etc. I always drive my vehicle slowly to a parking lot just out of view of the shop to check those things before doing any regular or serious driving.

Although steel stock wheels don't get stolen often, I could see torx fittings as wheel locks in a sense. I would guess the average wheel thief would not think to carry torx sockets around when looking for wheels.

I have no problems with steel wheels. I think they're safer on vehicles with a lot of miles. The aluminum somehow becomes brittle and I've seen cracks and even chunks break off if you fishtail in snow into a curb or something like that, whereas the steel would just bend.

Ugh

That reminds me, the 10-holes on my Mustang are aluminum...I didn't mention the purchase in this thread, but I had to buy a new wheel because of that...

Back in February or March when it snowed, I went around a curb, lost traction, did a stupid panic move by turning my wheel completely to the other lock (Which is bizzare when I've been able to correct myself from unintentional wet powerslide, once even when I was doing about 65-70 on the highway nearly losing control), and I just smacked the rim of my wheel into the curb...Part of the rim broke during impact and bent inwards, pinched the tube of my tire, and gave me a slow leak (Which I luckily noticed during a gas station stop, before I embarked 20 highway miles across Louisville)...Nothing I could take pliers to in order to fix...Had to ride the dummy tire while scouting salvage yards to get myself a new replacement wheel...Found one that I bought for $100, and I sold my old wheel as scrap for money back...

That suuuucked...

A hemp skirt! We had a new store open around us and apparently they last better and are environmentally sound. It's one step on my way to hippie-ness.

My Bon Clay came in and damn it's huge...



Two others came into low stock, so I got my orders in for these two:





They should all be around 10" tall. Bon Clay is a bit shorter due to his stance, though.

Nine Inch Nails, cool. They have a few songs I like. My favorite of which is The Wretched.

Nice ticket... except... where's mine?

Last Bought:
a gallon of nacho cheese sauce
a pound of extra lean ground chuck
a pile of jalapenos
a pair of large red onions
a few tomatoes

(for a really good meat & salsa nacho cheese sauce)

just clean and chop all the vegetables, add spices, brown & strain the meat, and combine with the nacho cheese in a crock pot. Heat and mix until well warmed. Dip anything you want into it and eat. Then lick your fingers.

(I bought a ton of other more boring groceries too)

you don't, unless you're a complete fool, hemp is the stem/leaf... not worth smoking at all.

last thing i bought was Replacement Powersuppy For a Good Price cause my old one died suddenly, was a very good deal at $90 + shipping, especially since i got an extra hundred watts out of the deal.
