I wonder if the owner has ever heard it rolling around.

Don't know about Mac tools. I have a magnet with a long arm that bends in several places for just this kind of fishing expedition. So yeah, been there, done that. And it alway happens at the most inopportune time. Tools just have a way to know how to **** you off. The space between the radiator and the air conditioner condenser is a favorite for some.

so far for me, it is the 6.0 V10 in my dad's motorhome (he is over 65, so I do some wrenching for him, it's payback for all he taught me to do before I could drive)...I buy the cheapest 4mm socket to remove the spark coils...I lost 3 in on spark plug swap, and only found 2.....

OK, then I guess you need to invest in some stock with Duct Tape. Or is it Duck tape like we use in the southwest?

Then it's definitely duck tape with you. That'll keep the fender on for the last three laps at least.

Nothing wrong with turning right or left when racing. My SWMBO won't let me watch other racing events when NASCAR is on. My boy # 24 has had some good and bad luck in the last few weeks. I also like dark beer, but prefer to save some major bucks and get Miller High Life at 15 bux for a 30 pack. Yeah, I was stationed in Europe for many years and could have drunk all you guys under the table with good ole German Pils. But that was when I was making a buck or two a day, and not living on a retired government employee's salary.
