    So the $40 Hobo Fright bike rack was well constructed for the price. Unfortunately it works best with traditional tube frame bikes. Didn't really work with ours.....as some of the reviews warned. So I returned it.

    Found a Hyper Tough (Walmart's brand) for $89. Still a bargain for this type of rack. Rather than hang from the frame, the bikes sit in wheel baskets. Works well.

    Folded.....though I have no plans to run on the car when not in use.

    That damn transmission allen drain plug on the Yaris stripped out on me. Had to snag a new one from the dealer this morning. Getting the old one off was a real joy. But I got it and changed the juice. But while I was at the dealer (which is rare) I stocked up on filters, since they're cheap. No Fram for awhile. :D

    God love ya..

    ROFLMAO.

    IF I thought the plug would strip I’d use vice grips at the same time.
    Those plugs suck…

    I tried vice grips. Just not enough shoulder on the bolt and a bit too recessed as well. I was finally able to hammer in a #60 torx bit and break it loose.

    Not sure what the deal was. I've had it out a few times over the years. Never torqued it more than 30 lbs. Those allen heads seem to gunk up over time and get a little fragile. Oh well. She's good now.

    This what I have to say to it. :luvya:

    At least it was less than $3.

    Necessity is the mother of invention. Got sick of wrestling the auger around every time we remove it (awkward af). Stole a cylinder lift from work that we dont use/want and bam, rolling auger storage. Will weld a proper mount up this winter when I give more of a shit but at least the damned thing is off the tractor and mobile. :thumbsup:

    That is awkward. Nice solution.

    She won’t believe you.
    She’s still tired.
    You know what that does to her social skills.
