I have a tool that came with my car, and I have no idea what it is for. It is the tool right below the tire in the picture.
Any imput would be really appreciated. _________________ =====>Alex<=====

Lug nut wrench + jack stand wrench. I bet that jack has a thing with a hole through it you can stick that hook to turn it.
Alternately, it's for tightening lug nuts while twisting the earrings off of thugs. _________________ 1987 924S: Very much in love with it, even if it's all finnicky |

It's for raising-lowering the scissors jack. The hooked end goes through a hole at the end of the jack that's hidden behind the tire in that pic. _________________ "..it's made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff."

You're all wrong - it's a coat hanger _________________ Remember a Porsche is not just for Christmas,

Please don't question me on concourse issues, I live to clean the inside of my exhaust tip with a q-tip.

| You're supposed to wear that on your head. It's a fake arrow. |
