In Mexico? Now I know you're lying!

 

I'd go with whatever is closer--sears or lowes--simply from a warranty perspective.

 

I think I'm gonna go with the Kobalt set. 72-tooth ratchets vs 36 on the Craftsman and they bought have the same warranty and they're both within a 15min drive. Also, the Kobalt includes deep sockets for sizes other than the 1/4in.

 

Treat yourself to a SnapOn ratchet at some point in the future

 

I think I'd rather pay my car off before I put myself in debt for some tools

 

Well...with my dumb luck the day before I took my wheels off for the winter, the Marriott valet in DC ended up curbing my front passenger wheel to kingdom come. Pretty much died when I saw it (I always inspect my car whenever I HAVE to valet it).

Before you respond with "NEVER VALET YOUR CAR", yes I know. I NEVER valet my car unless it's absolutely necessary and in this case, the hotel does not have self parking, nor was I able to do any street parking in Washington, DC for that length of time (staying overnight). So I took the gamble and ended up with this unfortunate incident.

I filed a claim right then and there on the spot at the hotel. I was told I would have to wait 5-10 business days for them to investigate the claim, and I would receive a call from the manager. Hopefully it's sooner than later because this really sucks. Had them on for almost 2 years and kept them mint up until now.

 

Damn, looks like it was curbed, then backed up and curbed again
I've probably valet parked our G in Vegas over 100x and never an issue, as well as several other cars, although it does come out of the garage pretty quick some times.

 

Man, that sucks... Like I said on facebook, mine got messed up just like that, jumping out of the way of a pickup truck trying to merge into me.

 

Yes. Like you said on FB... LOL

 

lol, were part of the same facebook group, whats wrong with fb? Im so confused.

 

Ignore Rochester. He's an old man who doesn't appreciate the value in documenting the minutia of our lives on Facebook...

...irrespective of sharing the minutia of our car hobby in an automotive forum.

 

I mainly use FB to keep in touch with friends, group chats, and infiniti groups where I can get inspiration, ideas, and deals on parts. Like I just bought my winter tires for 30% off msrp through a local guy in a VQ North group . He even dropped them off at my house, and I got to drive his g37s

 

@Rochester, "we fear what we don't truly understand" . I share the sentiment. I don't trust facebook, google, etc. Folks voluntarily reveal way too much information.

I'm ok with the forum site as there's some level of anonymity and privacy.

 

what are some of the fb groups? i searched and couldn't really find like a east coast infiniti group or something

 

Well, Im in a few North of the border groups. A few Marketplace groups that are more local to where I am. The International ones are Custom DIY Nissan/Infiniti VQ - Robbies Group from Japan Auction Parts, Then there is V36 Sedan Drivers.
