^ LOL... wonder if Shawn bought them for his Vette?

I actually had a set on my TL too. Never quite understood them b/c I was able to take them off by hand... but I bought into it and they were pretty cool....

I actually had a bunch of young kids try to steal the valve stems off my Racing Harts.

We were at my nephew's birthday party and I look out the window and see a couple of kids crouched down near my car. I bolted out of the building and scared the shit out of them. The parents came out and read them the riot act. It was really funny. Had I known what they were doing I probably wouldn't have bothered chasing them.

^ So do yours lock on good or come off by hand like juniorbean's? It seems like a great idea.

Not sure what juniorbean's are. They are put on with a tool that comes with them and come off with the same took. The tool can be bypassed if needed with needle noise pliers. The way the caps are made is the outer shell of the cap spins the tool is needed to put them on and off and the tool grips the iner part of the cap.
