Factory invoice pricing of a 2005 Ford GT $166,000
Sell for on Ebay around $225,000
Furniture dolly at Harbor Freight tools $12.00

Expression on service manager's face as I whip out the camera to document the pending disaster... priceless.

The wheels of the cheaply made furniture dolly are stuck at the entrance to the shop because they are too small to hop up over the different in levels in the cement. I have video too, but too large to upload. It arrived into the bay safely.... but I was ready to film the worse. :hehe:

The sad thing is that the "right" tool from Harbor Freight is only $60...

Yeah... but there wouldn't be that cool sphincter tightening feeling of maybe tearing something very expensive up. :hehe:

I'd still have that feeling, even with the $60 "right" tool, considering that it's made in China by political prisoners...

Out of curiosity, I looked up the price of a GT front wheel in the FRPP catalog... $940!

One wheel on that car is worth what my first vehicle ever was!:eek4: (78 Dodge truck, 225/ 3 in the tree)

And my mazda cost a mere fraction of that, at $550. 5 on the floor, good shocks, needed new clutch slave cylinder.
