    Wow. That's fantastic haha. I've always wanted to delve into more and more mechanical work on my car, but I've never really had the tools to do so. I'm hoping to start acquiring some nice tools real soon to help with overall maintenance items.

    Especially a freakin jack...

    shop around when your ready to get stuff, pep boys sells a jack and jack stand combo's set for cheap around x mass time, and around the year with other holiday sales.

    harbor freight also has really good prices on tools of all kind, i never had one of their jacks but people here who have bought them were less than satisfied with them, didn't trust them i guess, but you not supposed to get under a car with just a jack, thats why you get the jack stands.

    a small cheap bottle jack is also handy to have on hand. i keep one in my trunk to avoid ever having to use the stock jack for a flat tire. and 4 way lug wrench, the stock thing is trash. just dont use the bottle jack on the pinch welds, shoot for some sub frame to jack from.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW

    I've had some harbor freight items before (not good...) specifically bought some drill bits and a drill... The drill smoked and scared me to death when it was running and the bits might as well have been aluminum.
