Just thought of something...I have 4 of 'em. What if the socket gets stuck? LOL
 
I do think I have spare lug nuts. Somewhere in the shed.

Hmm, lemme see what I have. I think I do have 17, 19, 22, and 23mm sockets. Not a bad idea.
 
Plan on disposing of either the socket or the lug nut.
 
This is the ND Miata.
 
Only you Miata gurus know what this means. Pop up lights or not for the rest of us please!!
 
Or I'll make you go look up my B5.5 Variant is.

All that and it was a typo. NC Miata. ND is not out yet.
 
Basically NA meant 90-97, so pop-ups. There was no 98. 99-05 was the NB. 06 to current is the NC.
 
I've actually heard enough VW codes to know that that is.
 
Funny, I could never memorize that big chemical chart but I know most engine and chassis codes by heart.

This was a Groupon deal today but it sold out fast.
 
The Garmin 1450 LMT 5" GPS is available at Walmart for $89.98. Lifetime maps and full warranty.

Careful - I had a refurbed Garmin and it would crash and reboot itself in the middle of a route, intermittently.
 
Also, since I was not the original owner they did not honor the map updates. Ugh.
 
I regretted that. Eventually I sold it and that was my happiest day of (not) owning that unit. Since then new and new only.

Interesting; the folks over at FatWallet were talking about all the positive refurb comments they have seen.

I may have been unlucky, but once bitten, twice shy.

#677 of 766 Tire gauges by steve_ HOST

I'm jonsing for an LCD one since I can barely read my old faithful Raleigh gauge any more without a magnifying glass. Not close to a Sears though and shipping kills it.
 
Craftsman Programmable Digital Tire Gauge - $12.99 ($7 off). There's another one for $10 ($5 off) but the screen looks bigger on the programmable one.

Great timing - we have almost no stores near us, but the one we do have is a Sears (appliances & tools only). I'm on the hunt for stocking stuffers, and this one will be a winner for my S.O.
