^ i'm about to do that today.

do i need any special tools?

i think my jeep burned about a quart of oil so i topped off the washer fluid reservoir and coolant reservoir just incase that is where it was escaping from. i dont know, but do you think the oil might be leaking out the brake fluid reservoir? i could add some oil to it but it doesnt look like it will hold much. i'll dump some in the gas tank when i go to fill up here in a bit.

I put my tires and wheels on by myself and my Jeep only fell over one time in the process. I'm glad I wasn't still under it because I can only bench like five or six hundred pounds.

I put those dice style valve cap thingers on. I wanted the light up ones, but I didn't feel confident doing the electrical connections. Anyone help me out?

I have tons of neons and strobes in my car. It makes me look cool.




Oh wait, I really did last year.

ooooh ooooh....ive wiped a dead bug off a wind shield...does that count?

Only if you did it with a fancy bug remover chemical.

i opened that lid thing on the front of my car one time when it was making a funky noise and there's a lot of stuff in there... so i just poked it

i used to change the oil on my interga all the time, changed the spark plugs, put in a short shifter, helped my step bro put in a new clutch on his DSM

took auto shop my senior year in HS

i know a lot about cars, but it's honestly been a while since i've done anything with them since selling my integra

on my first car the rearview mirror was really lose and wouldn't say in place

so I stuck toothpicks in the joint and that fixed it

^^You haven't read a damn post in this thread, now have you.


^I used a piece of rock to hold a battery terminal in place once.

11/24/2005 12:49:13 PM

which reminds me . . . the battery was held in by a bent coat hanger

I can't take credit for that though, my dad was the mastermind behind it

11/24/2005 12:50:58 PM

I like the way your dad thinks. I must meet this man.

11/24/2005 12:52:30 PM

oh and one time the driver's side window fell off its track and into the door

so for a while I would tape a plastic bag over the hole when it was rainy

that was also my dad's idea!!!

11/24/2005 12:56:54 PM

I MUST MEET THIS MAN. HE IS THE FUTURE RULER OF THE UNIVERSE.

oohh oooh ooohhh thanksgiving means new ball joints for the thunderchicken yay!

11/24/2005 1:17:16 PM

i lost my oil cap so i stuffed the hole with a rag

11/24/2005 1:57:05 PM

I couldn't figure out how to replace my air filter, so i just duct taped a piece of paper in there...paper filter, sheet of paper, same fuckin thing, right?

11/24/2005 2:15:13 PM

I was doing advanced technical work on a friends Saturn and her window regulator rusted and broke so I used an advanced composite known as a piece of wood to hold it up. And yes, I don't think that one guy read a single post in this thread or the intent would be blatantly obvious.

my old ranger did that, so i put the mirror where i wanted it, then filled the joint with superglue

11/24/2005 4:12:31 PM

I wonder what would happen if you smoked a joint filled with superglue? You know, to hold it all together...

11/24/2005 4:16:14 PM

something inside my catalytic converter is rattling so i crawled under my jeep today and punched it, then i saw my muffler, so i punched it too.
