So what is Oppo buying from Amazon for your car(s) today? Anything good in the Prime day sale that’s Oppo-worthy?

TEKTON 24335 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench (10-150 ft.-lb.) is on sale for $26.

https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-24335-2-Inch-ft-lb-13-6-203-5/dp/B00C5ZL0RU/

Not buying one because I already have one, but this is a pretty good deal. Reviews seem to suggest that it’s surprisingly accurate, especially at the pricepoint.

I bought a router strong enough to work in my garage so I can look up trouble codes

Haven’t found anything that’s a deal I want to get. The Asus Zenpad 3S 10 tablet I got my wife last week is the same price today.

I did happen to buy something from Amazon but it wasnt on sale lol. It was the CG lock for my Miata. Supposed to hold an OEM seat belt in place better by not allowing the lap portion to get loose. Will see if that helps before I go to the full roll bar and harness. This will be in conjunction with an aluminum racing seat Im picking up second-hand today. Should work quite well for feeding my autocross addiction.

That’s a great price for a torque wrench. At that price I wonder how long it lasts, but still... worth it!

It’s all metal and built quite well. I’ve had mine for a full year now. But at that price, it’s probably disposable after several years.

Yeah I grabbed a new keyboard and some bluetooth headphones that were in a flash deal but I haven’t seen anything car related I’m interested in. There are some microfiber towel bundles but they aren’t compelling enough to buy...

Hey that makes it car related! What router did you get? I recently (not today) got one of the powerful multiband ASUS routers that looks like a giant spider... (multiple antennas/radios etc)

Came to post this. I figured it’s gotta be better than the one I bought ten years ago at a garage sale.

LOL. That’s actually a pretty sweet item, I might pick that up!

I find amazon’s big “sales” to be 99.5% stuff that I have zero application for and 0.5% stuff I’d have to talk myself into needing/using.

CG Locks are fantastic and I’m incredibly salty it doesn’t work with the belt of my C5Z.

Why doesnt it work?

It has two belts that connect to the buckle. You need the kind that just has one belt with the buckle that slides freely along the belt.

Ahh I could see that. Thanks to Prime, it already arrived at home yesterday before I got back from work. Hooked up easily to my Miata. Makes a world of difference even taking hard turns on the street. This thing will certainly help keep me planted this weekend during autocross.
