If you do any engine building, a set of good measuring tools(mics, gages, etc) are priceless!

You forgot the three main tools:

1. Good quality Roller Ball Pen.
2. Checks in the Checkbook.
3. Wife with good job to replenish the Checkbook weekly.

I knew a guy like that once...Wife bought him a Viper and a '32 T-Bucket.

He blew it by getting caught in bed with his neighbor and her friend.

I'll agree, though, a gigantic checking account balance would be good to have...

I hope you mean a '23 T-bucket. A '32 T-bucket would be an odd animal indeed.
