Funny story about a loaner car I got once....back in 1989/1990, I had just discharged from the Navy and bought a new Volkswagen Golf. Immediately upon driving off the lot it was apparent something was wrong with the car. I turned around and brought it back to the dealership. They provided me...

Mika, my GSP pointing fish in the Bass Pro Shop aquarium.

5 Minutes...for all 8?!?!? It takes me 10 minutes just to find the right tools! I feel your pain....4 and 6 are a real b!tch.
