    Say what you want about my tattoo and what I've said on these forums. Do any of you work on cars for a living? Do any of you have $45,000 in tools? Much less a $12,000 tool box to hold it all? Dis my tattoo all you want, it was FREE. Plus I get advertising bonuses from Matco. Snap-On is great, but there isn't a dealer that comes to our shop. Life-time warranty only goes as far as how soon you can get it replaced.

    Mystic... You think I haven't seen that? I own a Snap-On box. Matco put out a video showing Snap-On boxes being dropped off a fork-lift from 6 ft. up. Snap-On doesn't have a video of a tractor (semi to you novices) on their boxes. IT'S A PICTURE. And Snap-on fired back with putting a Matco box in a car-crusher. If you knew ANYTHING about tools Macto is their #1 competetor. Craftsmen comes with a 1 year warrenty. Matco comes with a, let me check my calendar.... LIFETIME warrenty. Hmmm, what would I choose You don't see top-fuel drag teams with anything but Snap-on or Matco. I'm sure you watch enough racing to notice that right??

    My $25,000 Ford would kick the BOOGERS out of a Grand Prix. Not to mention, with the mods I have, it will run twice, if not three times longer than your silly little grocery getter with a turbo, intake, exhaust tips, drilled/slotted rotors, and a rebuilt top-end that makes 300hp ever will.

    I'm not trying to start anything on here, and originally I was being a dickweed and cleaned up my act. But since you guys are into body mods and being tools, you probably don't even know what a spark plug is. Do some research and grow up...

    No, those of us that know better make more money while dealing with less bull****. Plus, it leaves our hobby at home to be enjoyed, not loathed after a long day of doing the same thing. You do not work on cars for a living, either; you work on diesel trucks, by your own admission. You want to measure dicks by the sticker value of your tool box? Why not compare net worth, then, since your dick will shrink considerably.

    Time slip or shut up. This is not the first time you have tried to make your big, bad truck out to be better than anything here. Prove it.

    Congrats, you have a ton of tools.(and you are one)
    I don't work on cars for a living. I have no desire to. I wrench on all of my own stuff. I have enough tools to do what I need to. If I don't, I go to my dads shop and borrow some. If we are checking dick sizes based on tool boxes and tools, hes Lexington Steele.

    I would hope your tattoo was free. I would be POed if I paid for that thing.

    Good job on having a quick pickup. You also paid how many times more for that than a GP?

    I work on aircraft that cost several hundred million dollars each. We definitely don't use Matco. We use Snap-on (even their tool boxes, which can take a Yuke running over them, aka a 50,000lb tow truck), and we use Craftsman. Last I checked, all of my personal Craftsman tools also have a lifetime warranty, as do my Kobalts which are made by Snap-on.

    Bring some of that my way. I'll be happy to show you 12s with just a tune. How's a 4.2s 0-60 sound? And if you don't think that's enough then I can happily introduce you to a few friends who are running low 11s on street tires.

    And, like Planeboy's suggestion, we could do it on a road course. I'm pretty confident most of the GPs here would be able to take on a top heavy barge like a Ford truck. Straight lines are boring. Go balls to the wall around a turn and see how much you're talking then.

    As has been proven if you look around the forum, there are plenty of people here who obviously would know more about an engine than you, and they aren't a tool about it. I'll let you in on a secret. Being a dealership mechanic isn't any cred at all. No one respects them, and they know they aren't exactly the smartest people in the world (though, I figured most could spell "competitor" and "warranty", but I guess not). That's why working on a car is a hobby, since anyone can do it if they can pick up a wrench and follow step by step instructions.
