Funny, anyone else?
 
I don't know about everyone else, but I noticed all I ever think/talk about has to do with cars, yet every time I'm working on one I get severely pis*ed at something and want to just throw my car in the garbage. Who's got so pissed they messed something up on their car,etc. What did you mess up. So far I've punched my rear panel, hatch, steering wheel. Actually I've meesed up a bunch of sh*t that were totally fine before hand, the funniest was when I trashed out my horn before school because it was going off every once and a while when I'd turn my wheel. It was like 7:00 am and it wouldn't stop.
Anyway, I just figured it would be funny to see what kind of stuffs been messed up by bad tempers.

Take deep breaths.....

I love working on cars, and getting my hands dirty. All I think about it racing. But it seems that if I do something pretty involved, it's a big ordeal. For example, I am in the middle of replacing my rear main seal. I started Sat morning, and I got every off up to the bell houseing within 2 hours. There was ONE freaking bolt that would not come off. It took me the rest of the day sat, all day sunday, and the last half of the day tuesday to get this one bolt off. We finally got it off with an extractor. I messed the bolt up pretty bad. After Sat, I was seriously thinking about giving up working on cars for the rest of my life. :(

As soon as I got the bolt off last night, I was in cloud nine, and it only took me 15 mins to get the bell houseing, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and rear main seal off, and to put the new one on.

BTW: It's hard work doing stuff by yourself, with ONLY hand tools laying on your back... but when your done, it feels so good.

Isn't hitting your car considered domestic assault?

Go easy on your baby, bro's.

Heehee you guys are to funny! :D


When we were installing my eibachs I got really mad at Beauty because she just wouldn't cooperate!!! I was exasted after hours of work (HEY! I'm a 100 pound little girl!) and couldn't hold it anymore! I let go and (luckily my pops was out of the way!) the Ford original spring shot out from the fender well and went through the wall in the garage! Now there is a big 5" circle in the wall! Heehee! That's embarassing. :o

I also had a little horn incident! This MFer almost ran into Betty and I got ticked and slammed the horn. Not to smart when its just a little loop. Yea... It ended up on the floor board :rolleyes:

Luckly u were out of the way, I wasn't when my shock from the '89 spraing out, hit me in the shin and cut all the way to the bone, I'm sure it will be a scar. I nice little Two half moons scar. Keep in mind that the shocks were speing loaded and also when they fell off, they catapulted off of the sway arms(double force) knocked me almost to the ground(later the pain did).
