Flip it over!
Riiiiiiiiiight up until you get it stuck because you weren't paying attention

I've not had it completely bite me yet but I've definitely been in iffy situations. Picked up an OEMTools reversible set for ~$85 a while ago (8mm-19mm) and got a free set of the accompanying passthrough sockets, which have been indispensable. Each one has a hex of the same at the top, so you can fit a crowsfoot on them with a torque wrench (great for struts), OR just use them as a mini extension for a socket.

having a 3/8 socket wrench with an extension while using the floor jack to break it loose FTW

There's a lot to be said for using unconventional solutions, though at those forces I'd step up to 1/2" drive

Tekton ftw, though I love my harbor freight impact sockets you gotta keep an eye out for the Taiwan ones versus the China ones.
What’s on deck for lunch, bros? I have some mahi burgers to stink up the house.
I might be doing Teriyaki Madness for dinner, either that or popeye's for that spicy chicken sandwich but I could go for some veggies

Turbo. Blue.
It's raining all day today. It started a couple hours ago and it'll probably be going for about another 8-9 hours.

I'm spending my work day browsing youtube trying to find rs3 exhausts. There ain't shit out there for the US market. Milltek, akrapovic, awe...that's about all I can find.

Someone came and picked up our old couch from downstairs. Had it listed on FB for free since last Sat after I got the new one. I was going to cut it up and ferry it out in the normal garbage. But glad it's out of the garage so I have room to do my brakes tomorrow.
