I needed to get my STI treated, so I took it in yesterday. Its 60k service was due so I took it to the "local"* Subaru dealer yesterday. Don't judge, I don't have the tools or patience for anything more than light wrenching. I got to wander through the shop area and the tech had the most impressive Snap-On toolbox I've ever seen. I hope it was self propelled because it was ten feet long and eight feet high. Possibly I exaggerate, it was probably one of these. At any rate it was the biggest tool box I've ever seen in person and I was jealous.
The drive wasn't that awesome since we've got a lot of snow on the ground and it was raining. For those unfamiliar with this phenomenon, snow on the ground plus 40F plus rain equals fog. The drive home was after dark and it sucked not having any kind of horizon to look at. I don't get car sick but I got feeling pretty queasy a couple times. In semi related news my Christmas shopping is now done since I had a few hours to kill while my car was getting worked on.
*Local is in quotes because the nearest Subaru dealer is 2 hours away from me.

They let you check out the shop? That's awesome! I should ask about that the next time I'm in the dealership instead of sitting around on twitter.

They didn't really let me check out the shop, we just cut through it because they gave me a ride to the local Best Buy to kill some time.

Oh ok that makes sense. Well I should also considering asking somebody to give me a ride to a local Best Buy then.

Those boxes are not power assisted in any way. . . Just filled with over $100,000 in tools. The box alone probably cost the guy $10-15,000. In that business you got to spend money to make money. Generally if a guy has a box like that he's probably pretty good at his job. Those boxes are easier to move around than you'd think, it is just getting the initial movement that is hard.

There must be a V8 powered one on the internet somewhere. To the googles.

No details, but it has a drivers seat, steering wheel and pedals so I assume it must move under its own power.

Hahaha that thing looks like it has more weight on getting it to drive than tool capacity. . .
