I remember years ago, and I'm pretty sure that it's still a thing, that there are what I think of as "lumberjack games". Some are with chainsaws and some are with axes and then another that I thought was super cool as a kid was the log rolling. Those guys are amazing.

Kind of reminds me of this.

When we road the MS150, we were taught how to "emergency stop" on a bicycle. I never had to do it for real, but we practiced. None of those guys even attempted it.
The person on the scooter is lucky they didn't crush their skull when they fell back onto the road. Those hits looked HARD!

Most people that don't know use the back brake more than they should....the front brake has more stopping power. Use mostly front in a panic situation.

I ordered this from Amazon...it comes as a pair.
I've lost (for a while) various things that slide down into the 'unreachable hole' before.
I ordered 'carbon fiber' so it will match my console. $13

Because having to have a bunch of these in different sizes would be a pain.

Yes, you can buy a complete set of all size bits/sockets to fit on that end..just 3/8 drive.
Which you prob already have.

Absolutely. I don't think a miata will fit under many/most trucks. I think it takes a special truck. Plus, I suspect most trucks don't have a video camera recording under the trailer.

I need one of these F150 but the gap is just wide enough for my iPhone to slide down in there

Mine is set for tomorrow delivery. I'll post on how it works.

Amazon had a filter for diff models of cars....so I'm hoping it fits good.
