Zip Tie Competition FTMFW

So, I thought we would have a competition among the Zip Tie Users.

I think the potential winners are bound to be Drex or Frank.

Me, I have two. One holding the cover of the Steering Rack cover, the second holding the radiator hose up and away from the crank pulley. Wait, there is another cinching a vacum hose near my TB, and finally a fourth that holds a tranny cooling line in place. So, okay, make my count four.

I never have been a huge fan of engineering with those. However- I have a mean hand for some mechanics wire . Not on this car- but my Focus and other projects.

I've got...12 aftermarket ones . Nothing that holds structurally important stuff, but for loose wires I don't want dangling, etc.

I have about 3 or 4 in place of missing screws holding the panels tighter under the front bumper. They will be gone because I'm having my front damage repaired in the next couple weeks.

What the Dude, at least cut the ends off once you've locked the zip tie in.

I see. So the zip-tie is acting as your temporary hood latch?
