whats the dumbest thing you 've done to your car?

[pedro quiroga]

ok like the tread says what have you done to mees up your ride.

today i degreased my engine and thought i fuked up cause my truck would not start for an hour.it would just turn over.

here's the kicker i never wet the distributor.after i got it started it would sputer when i gave it gas.so i just let it idle for a while, and after 15 mins it was fine.

i know real dumb.yeah thats what i told myself.

[pedro quiroga]

oh yeah last time i degreased i took out my cruise control

Probably the dumbest thing i've done to my ride was rip up my differential without even knowing how i managed to do it. In fact, i'm still waiting for the parts! LOL

umm ive done all kinds of stupid stuff. Like strip the bolts on the manifold to turbo.. 3 times.. one right after the other.. yeah.

oh I also drove my old rx7 into a ditch. going about 60 hit a curb straight on and flew through the air till i landed into a 12 foot ditch. Yeah that hurt. Car wasnt as bad as i thought though.. just bent the control arm on the right front tire.. about it .. oh and smashed the rim real good.

Um...I rear ended my friend when we tried to make a quick get away to ditch another friend lol

[sl0wm03]

Uhm... I put a spare tire on and forgot to put all the bolts on... Damn that purple drank

[aznboi3644]

Um...my friend A sold my other friend B some 18 inch rims and tires...friend A put the rims and tires on friend B for him...with a 7 INCH LONG SOCKET WRENCH.

While my friend B was driving home his front left rim and tire CAME OFF!!!. He pulled over and called us...he sped there like crazy...the run away wheel hit a parked S-10. Friend B was like "I tightened the nuts as hard as I could, I dunno why them would come loose". Neighbor guy comes out to see what is goin on and says...well the tires are backwards...they are directional. Friend B who OWNED the rims and tires for atleast a year said he had no idea they were directional.

Neighbor guy said you really don't know what your doing and you shouldn't have put them on for him...he said wow I am retarded. He put the rim back on as tight as he could and then drove to the nearest Raben Tire and had them do it right. Friend B got a free full set of 2000 dollar rims and tires.

Moral of the story....don't install rims and tires with a 7 inch long socket wrench when you have never installed rims before.

I was like "dumbass"
