Again, the blocks are consumable for most respects. I'm not sure why people get so upset they get deformed or chipped up over time. A-retentiveness I guess.

For me it's more about when you really want to check something out underneath only to find that one of them had popped off. I literally lost a few of these, and no, I don't curb hop often. So it was off to the parts store before I could do what I really needed to. In one case a coolant hose had failed, so nada on running the car to the store. I now keep two spares in my trunk.
