IRWIN makes: Vise-Grip QuikGrip Unibit Marathon saw blades Strait-Line Blue Blade knives Speedbor wood Bits Hanson taps and Dies etc. [www.irwin.com](http://www.irwin.com) No deals from me though, im just marketing and not sales. Unless, you are among the lucky few who take advantage of the “Mike bringing home boxes of free IRWIN shit” club. Or, those who turn wrenches on my car. ---

It takes alot more skill to drive a car that big and heavy on that small of a tire, I just wish they went right some times. Sounds like fun, Id love to take one for a spin sometime :tup: ---

seams like a hella good time :tup: > [@Nikuk](#): > > Now, go skydiving and tell me which is better 😛 i will never understand peoples compulsion to dive out of perfectly good airplanes, and fall towards the ground at 120 mph, then hope that a flimsy piece of cloth opens up and slows them down, lol but at the same time, i dont know why people like to drive cars that want to turn on the straight away around a track at a buck 40 , hoping a thin piece of rubber holds and doesnt send them into the wall but in the end, i would LOVE to do botgh, lol , despite not realy understanding why i want to do either, cause in the end its not something “normal” people do for fun ---
