AFTER I fumbled this 7mm swivel socket down the defroster duct of a 2020 Silverado while removing the last screw... and it's always that last screw... I devised a new trick. The string isn't really a bother, and compared to the two hours spent with a bore scope retrieving it the first time, is a welcome addition to the socket.
My folks had their mailbox mounted on a 6" auger bit from a quarry. It had a 1" cable down the center. When it finally got hit the box flew off, pole bent over and then sprang right back up. Until the cable rusted away it kept holding the old mailbox up.
Had a buddy in 10th grade,, he had a nice 68-69 Camero RS ,, one of the rich kids ,, drove that car to school everyday ,, one week he was riding with his buddy a few days , I asked where his car was ,, he said he was driving down the road , partying , drinking a few ,, driving thru a construction zone with a whole row of those cones ,, he said the last one was filled with concrete .. I'm not sure if he ever got that car back together.
Trail 90s can take a lot, but there are limits. My high school GF had her Trail 90 overheating once. She would sometimes toss a glass of water on the cylinder head to cool it after a ride. Yeah, I warned her about that. One fine hot day, she brought out the garden hose, and before I could stop her..... up the tailpipe it goes! That poor Trail 90 was ruined.
