    You're doing it wrong - our kids have a dedicated room for Lego. They probably have at *least* 100,000 peices and I have never stepped on one. :p

        I feel a little better now. I drive along, in the right lane, with my tinfoil hat on
        worrying that I didn't tighten the idler on the cam belt enough, or that maybe the
        nut will fall off the oil pump, or that the nut on the onramp will suddenly veer into me.

        Now I know that there are people out there that have an even worse time of it than I do.

        Phew.

        Thanks, OP, I feel a little better now.

        Now I'm off the replace the o- ring between the oil thermostat and the block,
        because I'm pretty sure it's about to fail, instantly dumping oil all over my rear
        wheels, and causing a horriffic accident involving me spinning into a truck carrying a load
        of bricks, hitting the 'dump' lever, and bricking a dozen cars all around me. I'd be a
        parallel killer, then.

        You're right, it's r3v!

                    Put a brick through it. Then you can caliper it.

                        OP:
                        While you may be worried about bricks through the windshield, wouldn't a better use of your time/money be spent on replacing all the worn-out/Chinese suspension components, flushing brake fluid, replacing pads/rotors, and making sure you have good tires that are properly inflated on your car?

                        I would assume you are much more likely to die or be seriously harmed from lack of maintenance or use of cheap parts for critical components.

                        Do you have your ABS working?

                            I'm honestly hoping you didn't make up the thickness thing. I've already added that to the factoid database.

                              Shoot there was house flattened on the coast in Gearhart a few years back by a small plane crashing in to it. Killed half the family.

                              In the end, we're all spinning wildly through space on a giant rock that if it even altered course a couple degrees would probably kill every living thing on it's surface.
