That's why I kept it next to the bed - it was heavier than a baseball bat, and had a couple of prongs sticking out that looked like they'd do some fair damage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said: The Club. I mainly see them now on 300,000 mile "disposable cars", probably because they are on their third (insert expensive drivetrain component here), and usually they're a standard.
