Intellectual slap-fights are the best.

Did you read Cornel West’s attack on Coates re: Baldwin? ‘The fuck?

There is a special place in hell for people who order delivery during snowstorms. And in that hell, crab rangoon will always be Three. Blocks. Away.

Not having an extend-o magnet for when you drop that bolt or socket down in the nether-regions of the engine compartment.

Ahh, I gotcha. Yeah, I actually own a few of the Harbor Freight torque wrenches. Definitely better than guessing on certain things, but I still will not trust them with more delicate and lower torque bolts. Probably need to buy a nice low-range torque wrench that I can trust.

I realized this after reading your post fully. I would like to say that a dealership should know better but as i have discovered you can’t make people care. My local dealer told me the window clips for my car were discontinued and i believed them. Then i found a dealer online who had them and asked me how many i…

Because sometimes they don’t know.

The biggest one: Overestimating your abilities. Seriously, if you stop and look at something and really don’t understand how it works or you can’t figure out from a quick youtube/google search, please, take it to a shop. We see so much work that, ‘Oh, my buddy tried it first but couldn’t do it’. At that point it’s…

Autozone/Advance Auto Parts has been a life saver for me on many occasions. As much as at times their customer service sucks their loaner tool program is awesome.

Or not using enough jack stands (apparently I needed 5 or 6).

I imagine there’s an alternate universe entirely populated by lost socks and 10mm wrenches.

Kid, you bend that and you’re grounded till Jesus comes back.

Not using these tools for a long job. If it’s more parts than you can fit in your hand, bag it and tag it. You’ll be glad you did.

I just did a timing belt the other day. Took me 9 hours because I spent almost 5 hours driving around town back and forth to various parts stores to get the correct specialty tools for the job. It took many trips becuase the first special tool wasn’t special enough for my car and the second special tool was broken.…

I buy 10mm sockets in bulk...

Yup, this times a hundred. My wife always asks me when I will be done with _____? I always tell her it’s going to take most of the day unless it’s just swapping out brake pads.

Welp, I didn’t see this coming but I’m tired of her shtick.

I said almost the exact same thing. I don't get the love for her.

Maybe it’s because I’m not American, but I strongly feel that 500cc is too big a bike for a beginner - a 250 goes up to 120km/h fine, and as a learner you probably shouldn’t be going that fast to begin with.
