But I wanted to start a topic about stupid mistakes you have done to your car!!Heres my one:Took the stock wheels off the ute to fit on some new ones. But the new wheels needed new nuts. So back go the old wheels2 weeks later the new wheel nuts have arrived and I go to take off my old wheels again... that's when I find that the front drivers side wheel only has 3 nuts holding it on!!f*cked up somewhere along the line! Sorry if you got hit by any wheel nuts on the freeway in the last month lol. I have checked over and over again that these new ones are nice and tight. And they are all still there after a week!Anyway, surely I cant be the only one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stupidity cost me a lot of money! wouldn't mind if I lost a couple of wheel nuts instead lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 27/09/12 11:20 AM Share Posted 27/09/12 11:20 AM Well mine is sort of two of us..A mate topped up the oil in his excel.. And it started blowing smoke.. Asked how much he put in the response was "a whole bottle but I still couldn't see any oil in it"..Put it on stands and I proceeded to strip the head of the sump plug.. With no welder handy I decided to go to repco and buy a new one.. Then laid down under the car and proceeded to drill out the existing sump plug..I'm guessing this doesn't need much more explaining and by now you've all figured out that I had approximately 9 litres of oil dumped on me and this explains why my current cordless drill costs 12 bucks from Big W.. Ryobi drills just aren't meant to get that much oil in them.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was carrying on, slamming it in anger and it just wouldnt shut!! - after 15 mins of losing my Sh!T I realised I had left a socket set on top of the motor... then enjoyed looking at 2 nice high spots in my bonnet! ..... Go me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
