civic doodie

it seems like every time i go to work on ANY car something goes wrong, for example, today i was starting to put the bodykit from my old "sx" on my std......well....i got the rear bumper off, and then i needed to take off the center filler piece in the back that is betwen the bumper and the tails, anyway......out of the kazillions of tools i ahve....i could not for the life of me for 2 hours find a 10mm ANYTHING....so as you all know...if you dont have a 10mm wrench you cannot do anything to pretty much any honda period. im sorry guys, i just had to vent, that really made me mad, i was creating mew cusswords like ami...

you know as soon as you don't need them about 4 more trip you as walk across the garage right?

yup, never fails

ok... just making sure you was aware... either that or you'll be doing some thing completly unrelated and one will fall from the sky and know you out...

either that or you will trip on something out of the blue and while trying to find your teeth you knocked out you will instead find a surplus of that one single tool you can never find anywere

in april of last year I went to AutoZone and bought five 10mm sockets, went to a tool show later in the year and bought two metric socket sets, and during that time had a friend give me a complete set of metric wrenches... took me over an hour to find a 10mm Wednesday.

I remember working on my 91 Grand Am (*cough* pos) and just like the civic EVERYTHING was 10mm or 12mm.

One day hundreds of years from now somebody will stumble across at least a dozen 10mm sockets and probably six 3/8" drive ratchets in the back yard from the last five years of work I've done on cars :D

lol, damn, I know the feeling. Mine usually wander off though. So I bought my daughter her own plastic tool set, to help stop that. :D

I know man, the other day I was looking for some shit in my room, and found a bag with my stock corner lenses in it which I have looked for a couple of times now.

What is it with 10mm tools disappearing? You know I think its a conspiracy...my auto teachers where telling me about this stuff happening...not just tools in general disappearing...10mm tools disappearing...THEIR AFTER OUR 10MM TOOLS MAN!!!!!!!!!...THEY DON'T WANT US TO WORK ON OUR HONDAS!!!!!!!!...DAMN THEM!!!!!!!(shakes fist toward the sky)

lol i have 4 different 10 mm 1/4 inch drive, 5 different 3/8 inch drive and a few 1/2 inch 10 mm sockets.......use em AALLLL the damn time. So if its a conspiracy we have to stop them now!!!!

inventing new curse words rulez :ylsuper

10mm :rocket: we need like 10 of them. jer and i always wrench together. we always loose the 10mm together. by the end of the day someone's told the other some creative places to shove a 10mm so it doesn't get lost again

I think tools are kinda like dogs. You buy that expensive ass dog and the fucker will run away every damn time. Get a mutt from the pound and you cant get rid of the damn thing.

I can go get every cheap tool I've ever bought right now....As for my expensive tools, your guess is as good as mine.

lmao! first time i've heard that lol:sun:

perfect example of what i am talking about

that's EXACTLY why I go to these lame-ass tool shows... two metric socket sets cost me a whole $10

DAMN!!!!! The gnomes....I never thought of them doing it. I always thought I saw them in different spots...but just thought is was all in my head...(runs out sides and kicks the shit out of all the garden gnomes)...DAMN GNOMES!!!!!!!

this is why i'll NEVER have garden gnomes :uhoh:


i have no reason for this one :twoguns: it just looked cool and i wanted to try it

check your resonator box on your intake hehe! After I bought my 91 LX I was dismantling the intake (removing the rubber joint and long plastic piping above the radiator so that it just sucks air right into the filter box) and there down in my resonator was a 10mm socket! the owner before me must have lost it down there checking the filter i think. wierd...
