Default Need suggestions!!!
I have a brand new Dremel with a ton of accessories that I'm dying to use.
Give me some suggestions for ways I can use my new toy on my car.

LOL, I am in the same boat, I just got a new spray gun & I am dying to paint something! You could get some polishing pads & clean up your valve covers, throttle body, etc....

you could use the drimmel to cut the bottome of your lid, where the filter lays on it, if you havnt already done it, it doesnt add much HP but 1 is better than none!
