Years back had a house next door that the owner rented out. He had some welfare tenents. The woman was single? She and a 20's something daughter both had babies within a couple weeks of each other. A younger daughter 13-14 yrs of age was also pregnant at this same time. Now to the good part. They had a old Buick that they drove that was in need of a paint job. No big problem. They got two cans of different paint colors and two paint brushes and PAINTED THE CAR two tone. What an eyesore it was. Stefhen

I bought a car from a moron off Ebay without seeing it first(first mistake), it was a cheap Ford Tempo(second BIG mistake) and when I went to change the oil, some idiot used 2 pieces of chain to hold the transmission mount, and one other engine mount together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The trans mount was broken from the frame!! I had that car for 5 days......

In College I had a Honda Cvcc. the key broke off in the ignition so I took the ignition apart and put together a series of toggle switches in a plastic box. You had to have the right combination of flipped switches to allow the car to run. Eventually the plastic box caught on fire so I had to throw it out the window. Then I just twisted the wires together to start the car.
On one first date, I reached across to take my date's hand and hit the wires. Sparks shot all over and she screamed and insisted that we take her car. I told her that there was obviously some electricity between us. She was unimpressed, we took her car. Our date went well, but she still said no to another. Ooops.

My accelerator cable popped out in my 1984 VW GTI during a heavy rain storm in Orlando. The clip that holds it to the pedal broke, so being McGuyver. I took a razor blade and it slipped right on like it was meant to be and held it there. It had the perfect slot in the middle to hold the clip. I left it there til I sold it....
