Default My Car Eats Everything

I can't believe it, Everything I drop when working on it
JUST FLAT DISAPPEARS. I think the darn thing is eatin this stuff. Where in the world do these things go. All that room to work and see where things fall and they are no where. How do you spell %&^ #&#&&^ #&**) $%%#
My car now weighs 200# more than it did because of things and tools I've dropped. LOL! OK I'm done ranting :cheers:

guppie....

If you ever do find out where the tools went let me know. I've got two impact sockets that slung off towards the tranny when I first started pulling the engine and they have yet to surface. And I dropped the tranny down to look. I'm thinking the engineers at GM built little covey holes for them to fall into and then rattle from here on out to drive you nuts. :lol:

They are related to the ones that eat socks in the dryer.
