    Joined the site due to the fun I had with tailchaser and dave04. Two fun, crazy and knowledgeable guys full of the funniest stories and car info.

    The guys had a tech day to show me how to change out the transmission and differential fluid in my s2000.

    They told me about this site and all the fun you members have, look forward to a group drive if you miata guys and gals will have me.

    Miata is the first convertible I ever drove and I decided that day my next car was going to be a convertible.

    Hope to meet some of you soon and go for a meet and drive

    Welcome aboard and glad you had fun... Also glad that the fill bolt on your tranny was 18mm. I feel real sorry for Yoshi when Dave04 finds him...

    You apparently know what you're getting into; I'll just say welcome.

    Thanks, btw, for assisting me in killing off the next-to-last K-mart ratchet in my collection... It was cool watching it bend... I'm still surprised it had enough left to pop that fill-bolt loose!

    Couldn't a Craftsman be classified as a K-mart ratchet these days?

    My experience with Craftsman socket wrenches is that the gear breaks loose, , way before the handle starts to bend

    If that's what you like, then you are in good hands to buy Crapsman tools. As for me, I can think of a dozzen other brands I'd choose before I buy anymore Sears/K-Mart junk.

    The only good thing about chraftman tool is that you can walk into any sears and replace then, no question ask. Specially if you are like me and like to help then with the hammer.....lol
