I think I might order a Covercraft shade. I'd like more heat rejection than the cheap, 8 dollar Magic Shade I'm currently using from Wal-Mart. Anyone have the Covercraft and would like to comment on how they like or dislike it?

kind of random advice... assuming it's a gift from someone and not something you paid for... try using it to take a risk trying something new or different that perhaps you wouldn't spend your own money on. if it doesn't work out or you don't like it, well it wasn't your own money so you won't feel as bad.

I'd get a skeletool (this one is the "cs" with carbon fiber, more like $60). I'm used to carrying pocket knives all the time, but ever since I got this tool, I haven't carried anything else. I loved this tool so much that I gifted engraved ones to all my grooms men. All of them still have it and have used them to get themselves out of a bind one way or another.

Dammit, if I already didn't have three pocket knives, I'd so get this! How heavy is it? Who knows, I might just get a 4th pocket knife. LOL

Lol, I have so many pocket knives, I basically have an unintentional small collection of cheap big 5 pocket knives (for some reason my father in law thinks I really like pocket knives, so I get at least 2 a year: bday and xmas)

I currently have two Smith and Wesson knives (one large that stays in the car since it's heavy and has a seat belt cutter, and one medium size) and a small Gerber. I had another knife (forget the brand, but I liked it a lot), but that some how slipped out of my pocket somewhere. I also had a cheap Kershaw, but that was too heavy, so I gave it to my bro to have.

Nice, like I said, I have a crap ton of cheap big 5 ones, mostly off brand/made in china ones, so they just become letter openers/work bench utility knives until they get dull. I don't even bother resharpening them. A few are actually kinda nice that I maintain them. I got a couple Benchmade's, a Kershaw and a couple Gerbers. I think he got those from BassPro lol.

Hello fellow 86ers,

I wanted to bring up a non-related car topic. Prayer. I was wondering if there are any christians amoung our group? Also, this is for anyone, is there anything that you would like me to pray about for you? Feel free to PM me if you don't feel like posting on the actual board. Thanks and God Bless.

I just got my first good quality knife (Kershaw Cryo) for xmas from Crystal. I usually carry it anytime I'm not at work. I do plan to get one with a seat belt cutter to keep in the car and probably that leatherman you posted to keep with the camping/biking/snowboard gear. I have a BassPro gift card that I had no idea what to do with until now. lol

Seriously, what wheels are you looking at @Pwolf?
