    Dumb mistakes that my car suffers for

    I hate those stupid little things I do (or forget to do) that could seriously threaten the lfe of my engine. They dont happen very often, because Im a pretty meticulous person. But sometimes I dont pay attention.

    So, the other day I was painting my valve cover and oil cap. I had a spare valve cover that I could paint and let the paint cure over a few days during the priming/painting process but I didnt have a spare oil cap so I took mine off thinking that when I went to drive my car again I'll just screw it back on. Well, needless to say I left the house without my oil cap and noticed it smoking like hell a few miles down the road. No oil cap=engine bay mess. Im so retarded. Luckily I didnt go very far.

    Its things like this that make me wanna apologize to my car like its a person. Poor thing.

    You see models at every car show.
    But have you ever seen a model that actually takes the car she built to a show?

    Glad to hear you caught it in time .. but it took your baby to let you know about it.
    As I'm sure you could've driven for miles and miles before complete and utter destruction!

    Now then .. get out the buffing wheel, and all the cleaning material that you can gather,
    and get to work on her .. then, when you're done with that .. give her a big hug ..
    Oh and also .. go and give her a nice oil change .. filter included .. the good shit too.

    Maybe ... she'll forgive you ..

      I've done this before lol. I couldn't figure out why the engine sounded so much louder all of a sudden and then a few miles later I stopped at my brother's house and found out what I had done lol. Luckily there wasn't much of a mess and not too much oil had come out. Shit happens. At least you didn't find out by your oil light comming on and then your motor blwoing to pieces.

            I overtightened a sparkplug (maybe two) in an effort to "index"... for a gain of maybe 1hp. I damaged the threads. Now my plugs have a tendency to back out of the holes.

                white car i had. tranny went out so i swapped in a new one off a 93. in the mean time i had a fight with mom so i told her i'm moving out! the day after i finished my car i drove from st louis to cleveland. yeah don't forget the cotter pin in the lowerball joint lol. my passenger side balljoint popped out in Indy lol.

                week lager witha bad tire that was dragged fromt he busted ball joint i kept on driving it with a horriable steering shake, which made my cv joint pop out of the tranny.


                a year later i ran out of oil to my stupidity. oil light came on and i pulled over dumped in two quarts and drove on to work. yeah forgot myoil cap and the light came on again! and a messy enginebay lol.

                that was a rough year, for me. but dispite how bad i treated my cb she still chugged on to past 322,000 miles!
