Don't make the same mistake I did on changing tranny fluid...!
This is just a warning to everyone...(Even though I doubt anyone would be as stupid as I was in this) Anyway...when I changed my tranny fluid I jacked up the drivers side of the car like 2 feet in the air and then changed it. Which is the same side the fill and drain plug are on...so when I put tranny fluid back in I just kept filling like I was told until it started to pour out...well it didn't start to pour out until I had just finished putting 2 quarts in. I didn't think of it much at the time but, after I started driving her around it was geting really difficult to get into certain gears...anyway I checked the manual and it stated it only took like 1.6 quarts or something...so I kept the car level and pulled the overfill plug and sure enough all kind of fluid came out...about .5 quarts I would say... And now she shifts awesome...
Just wanted to warn anyone that was as dumb as I was in this...

That's how you become an "experienced" mechanic. You won't make that mistake again.

There, isn't that better?
I definitely admire the cojones here!

I was mounting a sub in the trunk of my last car (Marauder). When I drilled one of the holes to mount the sub I drilled right into the gas tank. I knew instantley...it stunk like gas in the trunk. BTW...Its not easy to get the gas tank out of a ford panther platform.
Not that long ago the head to the seat bolt on my 04 R1 snapped off. I had to drill the rest of the bolt out and I drilled right onto the top of one of my 1300.00 carbon Termignoni exhaust cans. DOHH!!
Went to put stainless lines on my 06 S2000 and I didn
