Went to Harbor Freight (Sacramento) Saturday. The catalog lists a "long frame" 2.5 ton floor jack w/max lift of 31" for $159.00. It was on sale @ harborfreight.com for $139.00 & it was on "in store" sale for $99.00............I told them to dig out 2 of them for me then went to look around to see what else they had. My wife came up to me & said "if those 2 large boxes by the front counter are for you - I don't think they will fit in the jeep." I told her that we will just flip up the back seat & there will be plenty of room..................she was right. She then said that instead of spending all of the money that I do on tools, I should just buy a new Tahoe for her & I wouldn't need the tools...............I had to give her the "surely you jest, blank, glassy eyed stare" (words would have gotten me into much more trouble). I am still in a state of shock, though................She called me @ work today & asked if I wanted her to drive to Sacramento & pick up the floor jacks with her Explorer.....................................................Even more shocking is the fact that she stopped @ "The Gap" on the way back...........................& didn't buy anything! Imagine that............
