How many schools don't have Shop Class anymore? That's where I developed my interest in working on cars and other things mechanical. It's amazing how many young adults don't have any interest in turning a wrench or even know how to change a tire.
Wanted Grabber Blue, but not able to find one. Went with second choice, Magnetic Metallic. If buying today I would go with Orange Fury, love that color.
