Helped a mate change the oil on his GFs pulsar once (when I say help I mean stand around and talk sh!t)

He's under there, draining the sump out and changing the oil filter etc. We fill the new oil in, do it all back up and its done.

Car drives out of the driveway blowing HUGE amounts of smoke everywhere, he calls her back and we have a look.

Turns out the numpty has drained all the auto fluid out of the gearbox, replaced the sump plug and then proceeded to add 5L extra engine oil to the already full sump!!!

Poor little 1.6L was swimming in the stuff...lolol

ripping out the interior of my x d and painting all the vinyl black with cans of vinyl/trim paint from repco. I even did the roof lining. breathing in the fumes took about 10 years off my life. it was 9 or so years ago, I can still smell it. laying on my back. spraying the roof. WHYYYYYYY. it looked... average at best

Watched an apprentice change brake pads in some sorta mini van, backed it off the hoist and forgot to pump the brakes, reversed straight into a falcon that was on the hoist behind him, almost pushed the falcon off the hoist, smashed the minivans tailgate to pieces and scared the sh*t outa me! Amongst many others...

when I still owned my pulsar driving to work one day after 20km of open road stopped at a set of lights and saw smoke coming out of the side of my bonnet

lift up my bonnet a minute later when I got to work and see oil all over the engine and bottom side of bonnet

lesson learnt always check oil cap is back on after topping up oil

Lol, well when I was a first year I put a diff in a falcon ute and assumed it was full of oil, roadtester drove it and seems my assumption was incorrect haha, let the smoke out

Seen a tech do a tailgate glass on an exploder and do the bolts up too tight... Smaasshhhh
