  1. Common Practice: Borrowed Tools Are the Point

    Some of the best things in a garage don't belong there for very long. This is about borrowed tools and how sharing builds a safer community. #WeKeepUsSafe

  2. Well I wasted all summer, and didn't get my #VW #Squareback running so I have to drag it up into my garage to keep the rain from getting in it this winter.

    Trouble is there's nothing to hook a comealong to in my garage. So I bought a D-ring from HarborFreight and rented a hammer drill and masonry bits from the tool lending library tonight.

    Hopefully the anchor bolts will hold and I can get it winched up my driveway.

  3. 2015 #VW #Mk7 #Sportwagen plugs. We got it with 65k miles, sitting at 103k now. Probably first plug change, no idea really. Car runs good. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts beyond the obvious "def time to change them!!" #shadetreemechanic #DIYtoDeath
