    A case for "MAW's" Well sometimes you see something else you could get done while you're at it.

    Hah, I remember when i first got my car I had a flat, so I was just going to take the wheel/tire off and go get it patched/fixed and put it back on, I figured it would only take an hour or so for everything... (a learned a valuable lesson about the rear wheel/tires on a the 52-54s that day...)

    I've learned to at least double the time I "think" it'll take me. Ha ha...

    The worst time for me was when I convinced myself that I could do a clutch disc replacement on my previous car (1968 opel rekord). I was alone, in my gravel yard, with no pit, no elevators and just had four jackstands.
    My back and chest muscles still hurt when I remember this and my wife surely recalls it.
    But I did it! about... hummn... 8 plus hours later.
