There's something about killing an inanimate object, like a
lawnmower, that makes you feel good. ;-)

Damn straight! Did I ever tell you about the time my neighbor's wife
drove his Porsche through my garage wall and destroyed my lawn mower?
If there's anything better than destroying a lawn mower, it's having
your neighbor's wife do it for you with his Porsche, and then apologize
profusely and pay for it!

I finish em up with a torque wrench - but if you set your compressor to the
desired psi it comes out pretty close.

You remind me of my Dad doing a roadside tyre change on our LandRover (whose
wheel nuts peculiarly would get tighter the longer they were on) .. he
applied so much pressure to the wheel brace by hand (no extension bar) that
the wheel brace evenually bent (and it was a lot thicker than the one that
comes with the Jeep) ! The same guy had a head on with a 38 ton lorry and
broke the steering column before impact by bracing himself against the wheel
as he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. The accident investigator said he hadn't
seen anything like it before..

They had just moved to Seattle from San Diego, and were unloading the
truck. Hubby was sick, so wifey volunteered to put his Porsche in the
garage next to mine. Unfortunately, she forgot about the manual
transmission and put the car not only through the wall but through the
lawn mower too! ;o)

Big theft of several porsches accomplished in southern california
by sacrificing a few to ram the containing fence, then driving
the rest over the downed fence. Were in incoming freight lot
down near the San Pedro/Long Beach docks at the time.
