Oooh, a math quiz!  My teacher always said word problems would be my un-doing

:P



Now, let's see; The Spare weighs 23 pounds, and the jack/lug wrench weigh 5

pounds.  The Sub tube and Amp, maybe 15 more.  Speedster cover is fiberglass

right?  Around 15 pounds?  Now, I didn't bother to call Bill Cardell and waste

his 800 line just to find out what a RB Style Bar weighs, so I'll give you 50

pounds 'cause it looks heavy.  So, Percy, how much does that tool box weigh?
