What is it?
I haven't given away any bonus points lately ... so here's your chance to be the envy of all your friends and snag some sweet-o points!
1000 bonus points to the person who guesses most correctly what the item below is.
500 bonus points to the person who comes up with the most creative incorrect guess :-)
UPDATE: David Marks is the proud owner of 1000 bonus points for correctly indentifying that this is a 18mm wheel spacer (it sits between a cars wheel hub and tire rim). In my case I need such a large spacer (3/4 inch!) so my wide non-stock rims (17x9) clear my front struts.
Void where prohibited by law. Bonus points are bogus and will remain the property of jpowell.blogs.com and may not be used in conjunction with bonus points, bogus or non, from any other website, product, vendor, or individual. Cash value of bonus points = $0.00 Any attempt to counterfeit bonus points is punishable by death or mostly death to be determined by casting lots during the next harvest moon. Odds of wining are 1 chance in a google.
Dude, stop taking your car apart!
I think it's a wheel spacer between the disc brake and the wheel rim, to be precise, an 18mm wheel spacer.

I was going to say its something for a car...but I think its for a Tripod head. A spacer between the actual legs and the head. Perhaps. Not sure.

It's a flange

Guys. Please. Too easy. It is the device you use to hurl through the air at the person that:
a) fell behind on the powerpoint slides
b) introduced the virus to the entire network; or
c) went to the bathroom last but used no air freshener

Dave nailed it ... it IS an 18mm wheel spacer.
500 points are still up in the air for grabs ... get those creative juices flowin'!

I thought maybe you were bored and took your new camera apart!

Wait. It IS a wheel spacer, but your'e giving Dave 500 points, which implies it is NOT a wheel spacer? I'm confused... (which isn't really all that surprising)

Isn't it obvious?!?! It is the Andorian adapter module for the Flowbee Haircutting System! (And in great shape after that trip back in time, I might add :-) ).

Scott Ehly says it's a brake disk.

It's the real thing that goes in that cupholder-thingy that computers have, right? You know, that thing that pops out in the front...

Richard Dolan says it's half of a fly-reel.

I'd like to thank my family, who always wondered why I kept taking my cars apart, and putting them back together, sometimes correctly....
