You got a nice '68 442 Vert for $830 ???

Seriously, if there are any youngsters listening buy a lift now, instead of other tools. Don't wait it is an investment toward your future that will pay for itself many times. I didn't and really regret not getting one.

I'll add one more... The handbook of cusswords, What, When, and How to use them, no job ever gets done without them.
