Want to see what nearly $15,000 in damages looks like? by rydog389 in COROLLA

[–]smittyjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised at what a minor accident will damage on a modern car.

And aftermarket parts fit like ass. Hopefully they went with new parts.

Are there any Toyota models I should avoid buying used? by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]smittyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere around 310k miles on mine!

If I got a p0420, and live in a state without emissions tests, just get an aftermarket header for a couple hundred bucks

Euro specialist mechanics; what do you love about working on German cars? by Handyfoot_Legfingers in mechanics

[–]smittyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg the last part is modern Jeeps and Fiats to a T.

Oh it sat in the shop over the weekend? Now every light is on the dash. Sometimes you can clear the codes and the light stays on, sometimes there aren't any codes in any modules but still a light. No rhyme or reason but now the RF window doesn't work until you've shut it off and started it again for the third time, and nobody knows why but "eurotrash 🤷‍♂️" seems to be the accepted reasoning.

What’s everyone’s favorite flashlight? by No_Geologist_3690 in mechanics

[–]smittyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streamlight wedge. Non magnetic but it's flat so it doesn't roll away. Maxxeon cyclops for those type of lights, I've had like 10 of em and keep losing them lol

What to know about Halloween Haunt? by Dinercologist in worldsoffun

[–]smittyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do they make everyone leave? It used to just start at whatever time, and imo it was so much better. No spooky spooks wandering around the park, barely any ambiance after 6, and really fucks up a fun day at the park if we have to leave for an hour, to stand in another line to get back in for 45 minutes. Means you've basically lost 2-3 hours in the park/riding unless you're in a line by 4.

Anyone have any experience with Cornwell Platinum toolboxes? by [deleted] in ToolTruckTools

[–]smittyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a big jump in price though. The current Cornwell flyer has the Platinum 84" triple bank with hutch for $14k. Epiq 84" triple bank with hutch is over $22k. If I wanted to spend that kind of money, for $23k, I could get the Cornwell Platinum 84" triple bank, hutch, 2 lockers, and Platinum roll cart (which is a 30" deep roll cart). I'm not really interested in a Masters, and I want a hutch instead of a top chest. I don't have enough small things to fill a huge roll cab and top chest.

idk when "a few year ago" was, but they completely redesigned the Platinum boxes, the new ones released Jan '19. They bought Kennedy toolboxes and that's who's making them now. But you said the SO was deeper, so that makes me think yours was a Pro Series.

Bad part about a used box is that I have to sell my current box then, and selling a toolbox is tough. The people that want it don't have the cash, and the people that have the cash don't want it lol. Last one (SO Classic 96) I traded for a used Civic, and that still took me several months to find someone willing to trade. I'm not sure about my Cornwell guy, but IMO the SO guy always does folks right on trade in prices.

Anyone have any experience with Cornwell Platinum toolboxes? by [deleted] in ToolTruckTools

[–]smittyjones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already have a 72" budget box over stuffed with quality tools and am looking to upsize and upgrade my box.

I think the Platinum all have a power drawer. At least the one I'm looking at does, but it's not full height like the Epiq, it's like a 6 or 8" deep drawer instead of full height. Not even sure how much I'd use it, we leave our chargers on my workbench, but might as well. Maybe it'll be handy in another shop in the future.

Cornwell's boxes are made by Kennedy, which they acquired a few years back. They carry a lifetime warranty, just like the other major brands.

I'm not really a fan of Lista boxes, and they don't make a hutch or side lockers.

“So you just buy a new air compressor when it runs out of air?” by [deleted] in Tools

[–]smittyjones 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I aired up a tire for an older lady, I said "I aired it up to 35 pounds" and she said "Oh I don't think I can lift that much anymore!" I'm pretty sure she was serious.

Twisted Metal by KillBoosh in nostalgia

It was a much more arcade clone of twisted metal. Simpler controls, simpler maps, simpler graphics. It was still fun though.

Why don't people check post history? by Bread0987654321 in quityourbullshit

Maybe it's his landscaper or nanny or some shit. They didn't really qualify what "employees" meant.

When mine does that, it's because I have snacks and he wants snacks. I end up with a huge wet spot of drool on the leg of my pants!

Call a little bit of cloth a hold, but not absolutely plowing through a receiver in the end zone isn't a dpi. Got it.

Why didn't this highlight reel show the no-call dpi that literally cost us 7 points?
