My Marauder got a 12V power lugnut removal thingy.

Up to 250 lbs torque so it whould work.

I still havn't found my jack, although I havn't taken the donut out yet either.

Someone should lobby for it.

Boxing Day?? Not since the Gillette Friday Night Fights was cancelled. "Look Sharp ... Feel Sharp ... with Gillette razor blades". :D

My company recognizes Boxing Day when Christmas Day is close to the end of the week like for 2008, it is on a Thursday so instead of me getting off Christmas Eve, their giving us off Friday for Boxing Day lol.

Boxing Day was traditionally the day after Christmas (this much is unchanged) when families would gather up old clothing, footwear and miscellania that had been previously discarded, unused or replaced by new items over the holidays. These items would then be boxed and left at the roadside whereupon those less fortunate could rummage and find items of use to them. This information I received from Stuart MacLean of The Vinyl Cafe. Never really new the meaning until I heard this two weeks ago.

Now it just means the massive sale early on the 26th of December.

Get up at 4-6am and line up to get in and get the best deals anywhere on most everything. From clothes to cars, electronics and furniture. I slept in and started the day off at 9am at Phils then cruised over and picked up a full length leather coat and a 12volt torque lug nut power wrench, then checked out the TV's and stayed well away from the malls.
