Interesting. I didn't know they had wrenching parties. I know that where I'll be for the next few years, Manny and Peter are nearby, along with other NEHOGger's I'm sure. So that would be a great idea for me.
I didn't realize so many tools were required! I have been buying what I can, some sockets here, a wrench there, looking for a torque wrench now, etc. I know that I have no where near what I'd need... I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that price, because I know a mechanic and he's got a whole set that's worth about that much. But I suppose eventually I'll accumulate what I need rummaging through the clearance bins. I'm like my dad. There are no "sets" of tools in his garage, and everything has a yellow "clearance" tag on it.
