i wouldnt HATE it... you might just need to snap your fingers a couple of times to keep m attention, hehe but yea i dont have any metric wrenches and a handfull of metric sockets (mix between long and short) but there fitted for a 1/4in ratchet which i also dont have haha. ive got most of my standard sockets also a mix. ive got most short and long, and what ones im missing from either i use from the other. when i take the trip down there ill have to bring my toolbox along

well.... now that i have a job and all, i have been lookin for somethin more... eco friendly? to drive. my truck cant handle all the miles i will be puttin on it now and gas is too pricy for it as well. i have REALLY been eyeing one specific kind of vehicle. really considering a motorcycle. my buddy whos been ridin his whole life and told me the best thing to start with would be a 250. (never ridin any 2 wheeled motorized equipment) been lookin at a Kawasaki Ninja 250 for 3k.
