The dumbest thing you've ever done while working on your vehicle?

Was hooking up 2 caps and an amp in late 90's but didn't charge them first like you're supposed to and it put me on my ass.

Also, I have learned the hard way why you fuse. :ohnoes9::sigh::noob:;)

Not me personally, because I have always thought people are complete idiots to be crawling under a vehicle with no jackstands under it and only raised up due to the hydraulics, but watched a local dude who is full of himself crawl under his hopper and the hose in the rear blew.....whole cars weight came falling down on his chest. He ended up in the hospital for a few days. A lot of weight landing on your chest....no thank you.

hey i cant afford jack stands i always thought about getting the Harbor Freight ones but it would probably be worse then just my jack lol

anyway i love when people jump there cars backwards and blow there ecu or pump diesel in gas cars.

Touching the rachet handle to the negative buss bar while tightening the positive one fucking sucked with 4 6500's. Sounded like a gunshot and took a chunk out of each bar, not to mention I about shit myself LOL.

This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned

Let me preface by saying that I was just a witness for this. I watched one of my friends let a crackhead put brakes on his mother's car. He wanted to pocket the rest so we could get some weed and go ride around. Well, the only tool the crackhead had was a wrench. When he was done, there was blood and oil running down his arm and my boy paid the 20 and we dipped. About 30 minutes after the job was done we were on Lake shore drive and his tire fell off and we smacked right in to a super sharp turn on the northside. The only thing hurt was his pride because he couldn't tell his mom why he crashed and that the tire came off the car.

Well, here we go lol

-Left a wrench under the hood for a month until it fell out while I was driving. (did that twice)

-friend wired his amp backwards then walks inside and leaves me to do the honors lol.

-spent 2 weeks building a box only to find out it was too big.

-Spent 2 hours running wires through the back of this tweeter pod that sat on the back of my friends rear deck. then

mounted it and then thought to myself, shouldn't I have ran the wires through the bottom so you cant see them...

-used to have a Boss HU because I didn't have the money to get something better at the time. I was setting my gain on my new amp and I set my ipod down

on my amp which somehow caused the AUX port on the HU to ground out which sent the pos Boss up in flames. had to rip my dash apart to get it out.

then proceeded to throw the HU which was on fire into the street.

I would guess the dumbest thing I ever did was with one of my old bike. I had a GSXR100 and while I came home from Iraq I drove my bike up to my parents house, about a 1000 mile ride. When I got there I wanted to wash the bike and I couldn't get the buds off my front fairing. So out came the SOS pad and needless to say I had to replace my front fairing from a million scratches. I was an idiot that day.........may be some other days too but I'll leave it at that one.
