Exactly, throwing stuff at the walls is much better, but boxers fractures help keep me employed so I am all for em

marko a ways back my friend came over as I was working on my bike, I got very mad and launched a screwdriver like 3 yards down. His then girlfriend got scared and told him he shouldnt hang out with me

hell of a first impression.

i found the screwdriver but the bit was lost in the grass/bushes

I like to take one thing and break it beyond recognition.

But since most of my work in the garage involves bringing a sammich or cracking a beer....it doesn't happen too often.

Not after some of my projects

I have learned grass does not like:

used motor oil
gasoline
coolant
water over 170 degrees (dad loved that one, was when I was home brewing and had to ditch some water very quickly)

I think that could be saying something about the vehicle's impact on environment.
