WHAT YOU'LL NEED WHEN YOU HIT THE JUNKYARD THIS SEASON
HOW TO CREATE A TOOLBOX WITH CHEAP & REPLACEABLE TOOLS
For the toolbox, an old military box will do the trick. You can pick them up online on Amazon.com or at any military surplus store. They are cheap, durable and waterproof so it'll be everything you need and much more. You can even stand on it for a few more inches or use it as a hammer.
The common wrenches are always a must. Whether it's taking off rusty bolt or using it to take off a hose. The sizes you'll need and we find most common are 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", and 3/4" sizes.
You know, Autoweek made a good point with this one. The crescent wrench has become a common name just like Kleenex so any generic brand will work. It'll help you get those weird bolt heads that the normal wrench just can't get.
Pliers, everything you'll need when you can't grab that tricky part or just need some extra mini jaws of death.
Something so simple but we use them almost every time we work on something, screw drivers. You'll need both phillips + and flat heads - when completely you're cheap tool box. Can easily find these at a thrift store, or any store for that matter for pretty dang cheap.
A ratchet and socket set would be the bees knees. Even if you throw in some extensions that'll come in handy even more. Make sure it works though and go from right to left. You don't want to get out in the yard and find out your ratchet is broken, well it goes for any tool. So make sure to check them.
Last but certainly not least, a box knife. You'll need it more than you think, whether it's cutting hoses, seats or plastic. Trust us on this one, you'll be grateful when you see it in you toolbox.
That's mostly all you'll need when you get out there to the ever so needed junkyards. Plus with the military box, there will always be room for extra tools you find you'll need along the way.

Ferrari Calling Back Already Rare Ferrari's!
NO RECALL, SAYS FERRARI, JUST AN "INVITATION"
The already rare and limited LaFerrari hypercars are being sent back to service for an update/paint job to the fuel tank. According to Ferrari, the so called "upgrade" is not a recall but just something they may have missed during production.
Ferrari states, "Due to a possible incorrect adhesion of a layer of paint on the fuel tank, some clients have been invited to take their cars to an authorized service center to substitute the fuel tank with a new one with new paint.”
But how many Ferrari's are actually affected?! According to Ferrari, only a limited amount of the fuel tanks are of concern. “The time to change the fuel tank is relatively short and the intervention concerns only a limited number of LaFerraris,” Ferrari said.
However, according to Autoblog.nl, there's more to the story including a fire risk, but more importantly the fact that Ferrari is upgrading the tanks with a non-conducting surface. The accusations seem realistic when a picture of a LaFerrari has already been spotted inside a German shop for servicing of the recent problem.
Maybe Ferrari made too many of the limited LaFerrari and forgot the classic phrase, "quality over quantity."

Dad Finds Out His Son is Sleeping With His Car
We all have our own little twerks here and there, some of us even have addictions, but this kid is on a whole new level.
Love is Love. Right?
Thank goodness for The Learning Channel and it's educational content. What would we do, if we had never learned about strange addictions, especially car addictions. If not taken seriously, our own love for our cars could get out of hand, escalating quickly until we have no one else left to love.
