There was recently a story on Jalopnik about states that advertise using airplanes to monitor speeding, but found that almost all states just about NEVER did it, because it was so expensive to get the plane up that the tickets didnt offset the costs.

Whoa :eek:

Seems like the group has come to a general consensus here! I did take it for a short spin around the block, and it did go up a couple of degrees so it would seem that it's not entirely stuck per se. However, per said general consensus I will give it a better chance on the drive home to see if it improves on its accuracy. :)

got salt and dirt and dust from not being able to clean though winter. spring cleaning time. :D then going to clean up my tool cases and shelves maybe tomorrow night.

i need to get a larger intermediate tool case... too many tools on mobile cart shelf.

happytheman 03-13-2012 03:08 PM

kenchan 03-13-2012 03:12 PM

happy- :tup:

i think im going to get a 3 drawer intermediate for mine. will need to check out on the weekend when i have my Fit available. :D will also see if i can re-arrange some of the larger drawers to accomodate more... probably a good time for me to rid some of the older bulky stuff. :)

happytheman 03-13-2012 03:15 PM

Edited pic w/ better representation. I have REALLY deep bottom drawers on mine. It's so nice having everything right where I need it! Before I got the Craftsman, I had like two or three toolboxes of stuff....and was always having to go through everything to find what I needed! :(

kenchan 03-13-2012 03:21 PM

happy- that almost looks like the one i got. :) i dont have the intermediate drawers on mine yet since i have another case on the workbench lower shelf but im out of space on that as well.

I have a large Craftsman. Large drawers on bottom, medium and small drawers ontop. I hate to think how much money in tools I have in there. :shakes head:

Ah Canada...........................site of not one, but two near cavity searches by their Customs agents.

Don't ever make the mistake of having a tire gauge (the chrome pencil type)in your briefcase by accident...............................apparently their version of the TSA has never seen one before.

Fire 03-13-2012 03:45 PM

LOL piss me off and I'll check your tire pressure Oh wait the horses don't have tires LOL:tiphat: Eh?

kenchan 03-13-2012 03:53 PM

GaleForce 03-13-2012 03:57 PM

I had a gun drawn on me for reaching around my seat to pull out my buddies front licence plate. He was driving, we were going to a car show in the US. The agent asked where the plate was so i thought I would show him. It was a pucker moment!

Fire 03-13-2012 03:58 PM

OMG I'm sorry you where going to Buffalo. Did you get shot at on the way? You should have started making up Asian words that would get him. I like the cooking term Asian. Sushi chung pow mahi mahi LOL

Nope, not asian, just Canadian, not even a French speaking one. :bowrofl:

Kenman I was talking about you, you all look alike to me anyways LOL Always tell a cop when you are going to do something like reaching around the seat. When I was in the Marines I got pulled over in my Camaro, in my back seat was a .45 holster and 3 magazines in 4 pouches. So it looked like the gun and a magazine where missing. The cop started pulling out his gun until I told him the pistole was in the armory.:ugh2:
