Okay all just because I have never done a contest and looking at my coin drawer there is a few things I would like to bestow upon someone else. I'm sorry it's not much notice and will be over withing a few hours but I wanted to do this.

The events of my day are going to go as follows.
Plan on waking up about 9am (as you can tell by my post time I won't be really sleeping in)

Showering and heading to the coin shop. So starting at 10am CST my day will start.

After I leave the coin shop I have to come home and put all 4 sets of brakes on my car.
How long will it take me ?
Keep in mind I don't work real fast and hate doing brakes and tools are scattered every where

So from 10am CST How long?

Answers need to be in Hours and Minutes

Example: 2 hours and 14 mins

Prize will be an assortment of coins out of my drawer and maybe one I pick up from the coin shop.

International members please feel free to play I'll ship anywhere

You only get 1 guess per person so make it count.

Contest will end When I post it is over after I am finished.



So let the guessing begin.

I feel your pain! LOL!

I just LOVE working on cars (dripping with sarcasm)!

5 hours 6 minutes

Exactly! However, you forgot about the joy of finishing the job and having parts/nuts/bolts left over...which of course aren't supposed to be left over. I just love that!

Oh yeah...and who could forget the fun of playing "lug nut soccer". You know...where you carelessly leave the lug nuts on the garage floor in a nice and neat pile and then accidentally kick the pile as you are walking to get a tool, sending lug nuts in all directions into every unknown nook and cranny in your garage....not saying that I've ever done that (eye roll).

I'm going with 3 hours & 37 minutes, as long as you don't count the time for the lunch & beer break you will need halfway through the job.

I'll give it 4 hours-10 minutes that's an hour per wheel, and 10 to clean up...unless you got something from the coin shop that makes you forget about the whole brake issue entirely!
