So he hydrolocked himself? A very nice accomplishment... not to his favor, perhaps, but very nice.

First comment on page two: "I hear Camaros are nice."

... in light of the thread content, I'm sure we know what he meant by that... ahem, where are the black Suburbans?

This has happened before....
We had this girl at work poor windshield wiper fluid in where the oil goes, because she saw the cap in the engine bay with the "flower sprinkler" picture on it! Yeah, that's what she said as her car was dying!!! True story!!!!!!

My wife even sighed. Combined with the snow chains on the front tires of the Mustang and Direct Exhaust Induction, we have the trifecta of automotive fail.

Another fail story.

My friend (super mechanic) had just fixed his buddy's girlfriend's car while his buddy wasnt' there. As he was ready to send her on her way she asked him. "what does the "N" on my shifter mean?"

My friend explained to her that the "N" meant "Night" gear. And explained to her she needs to use that gear while driving at night.....

At around Midnight that evening he gets a call from the girl's boyfriend, who is LIVID. Yelling at my friend because she won't believe that it really means neutral, and she's convinced her "Night" gear is bad. And she Can't drive in "Day" gear at night......

Her boyfriend had to go pick her up because my friend didn't answer his phone.......


This is a true story...

I told these stories to my wife while we were driving this afternoon. She laughed her ass off. She particularly liked the "N" story. About the water in the engine, she said, "That dude is a complete idiot. Even I would know not to do that." Well said.
