You might be a redneck if you are rino lining your toyota and get some on your hootus! lamo!!!!

 

lol. How about when it falls into the oil and plugs the "drain plug sized hole" in the Blitz 15 quart drip pan that everyone sells! Then you have to fish it out before the oil overflows.

 

For me this one is the best of all. Never fails to happen. cell phone in your pocket ringing off the hook while you are covered in grease.

 

Oh yeah been there it's almost as bad as dropping a cell phone in a toilet. We don't hesitate we just grab it (phone or oil plug).

That is just about the funniest thing I have ever seen, Kinda scary though, cuz I do stupid s*&t sometimes too(nothing like that though)

 

ugh, i hate that!

- when you think its a 14mm, but its a 17mm
- getting a ADD front diff and wondering why they used 12mm inverted torx bolts...and the non-add uses reculat 6pt 12mm
- top bellhousing bolts are a pita, even with a 3" body lift
- not having a garage and having to work in a dirt/rock backyard

 

Or you finally get home early from work, with just enough time to do that mod prior to the weekend's trail run, and you are half way through it and she asks you how long it will take, and reminds you of an urgent problem with the rental home that you cannot defer.

Happened last night. Didn't get the mod done. Again. And you wonder why I never have time to straighten up my garage. On the other hand my boss approved tomorrow off, so unless some emergency software deployment happens tomorrow... taking bets?

Or you reassemble the transmission you have rebuilt - a virgin transmission rebuilder - and discover one small ball bearing laying on the bench. One of the interlock balls. No, it is not optional. At least the tranny wasn't in the truck yet.

 

When you're constantly changing fuel filters because the only store in town sells bad gas

 

When you know you have the tool/part in the garage or shed or some damn place spend 2 hours looking give up go buy a new one then find what you were looking for the next day. Sympathy from the wife (I told you to clean that place up)

When you've been lying on your back working on that one stupid bolt for 20 minutes, and you do a dramatic no-look wrench drop (or toss)... right on your new cell phone

 

I helped a friend do an emergency engine swap on a gravel driveway once - sliding boards under the wheels of the hoist. if that ever happens again the first thing I'm gonna do is lay down a sheet of plywood in front of the vehicle.


When you go to use the ol' flame wrench and the wind suddenly gusts up so you can't get it lit. It knows, I tell you! The wind knows when I'm trying to light something!

 

when you have to pay a real mechanic to fix what you screwed up after working on it for several days!

 

--When you go to give bolts that last extra turn and you feel the bolt head break off..

--When you replace the correct part (coil) the first time but wire it backwards and spend weeks and a lot of money on new parts trying to figure out the problem.

 

When you use a wrench on the to hold the nut while you turn the socket on the bolt on the other side and the wrench binds up against the frame so you don't even need to hold it... until it falls off, bounces off the axle and then bounces off your forehead into the pan of oil next you you, which splashes oil into your eye.
LOL, I couldn't decide if I should laugh or cry, it was some funny shat right there.

 

When your hands are covered in grease, or paint, or something, and you have an itch on your butt, and you scratch it without thinking....when you go to pick up another part, or lunch, you wonder why people are looking at you funny, and laughing.

 

when you gear up for a day of modding the next day and the weather decides to DOWNPOUR on you! - then you decide the mods can wait until a sunny day...which doesn't come for 4 months!

opening the oil pan drain plug and THEN realize the drain pan is not under the plug and gushing BLACK oil.

 

That's the story every time I get into electrical work with my butane soldering torch (great tool BTW, until you run out of Butane in the middle of a project and have to drive 1/2 hour for a refill can)

How about finding that perfect upgrade / junkyard part that you've been looking the last 6 months for just as the guy who found it before you pulls it off the vehicle

 

That really pisses me off!!!

 

"when peaple just get in my way".......

 

And what pisses me off even more is that when i do get there to buy butane i get carded, even at Wal-mart. Do to the fact that some dumb*^s will buy it to get a high by inhaling it! Grrrrrrrrrrr, Inhale this punk
