I generally end up using my tools on other people's cars...:D Once, several years ago, a group of about 8 or 9 of us were caravanning home from a rod run when one of the cars spit its harmonic balancer off.:eek: Fortunately, the balancer and pulley got trapped by the front crossmember so weren't lost. At the time we were about 80 miles from home. Even with AAA, the tow bill would have been exhorbitant that far. Thankfully, I was carrying my usual assortment of tools; in about 20 minutes we were back on the road and made it home without further incident. Nowdays I carry a basic tool kit in all my cars.:)
