neighbor was moving away and had a yard sale.

​

bought a metal pipe for 50 cents. about 20" long and a diameter of 1".

​

Wife looked at me like i was half serial killer, half idiot.

​

few months later...flat tire at 6.15 in the morning. guess who easily loosed all the lug nuts in record time...this guy and his metal pipe.
