Buy a Miata or a Mustang GT. I think we’re done here.

You won’t find the extra piston in the car; you’ll find it in the inevitable pile of leftover parts after you put the car back together.

Better than dead rear axels.

It makes absolutely no sense that NASCAR hasn’t switched to a single center lock yet. Well, this is the camp that just switched to fuel injection a few years ago . . . .

NASCAR is a joke. This just emphasizes that even more.

Plus, once you collect enough spare parts, you can build a whole new car from them.

I actually think there’s some kind of exponential factor.

When they put together cars at the factory, they use extra parts. You’ll find these extra parts when you go to put things back together. Keep them, though. Preferably altogether in a Tupperware in the garage. These extra parts are generally interchangeable between makes, models, and years.

Cardboard is your best friend :

The same is true for the money you budget for a project.

Then add two hours, just to be safe.

This. Totally this.

The time you think it will take? lol double it.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen this one:

we haven’t reached the parts about bustiers and corsets.

best quote from one of the mechanics I used to work with:

Or it will fall into some inaccessible crevice in the engine bay, never to be seen again.

If hitting it with a hammer does not fix the problem, then it’s an electrical issue.

While working underhood, any socket or wrench you drop will fall through to the ground and magically find its way to the exact geometric center of the car, forcing you to crawl halfway under it for retrieval.
