That sounds tedious.

I remember going through a bike supply magazine and a water bottle holder came with hollow screws.
Okay, Amazon says that my oil drain plug weighs 1.6 ounces. If I bore out five percent of one hundred other bolts of the same weight, I would save half a pound. Are there a thousand bolts that heavy in the average car? Five pounds!
Wikipedia says my car weighs 2,519 pounds. I know how to drop it to 2,514! Two-tenths of a percent, suckers! I am going to purchase a manual drill and have huge arms!
