Rolling on the floor laughing! Oh dang hahahah! That is not as bad as when i hooked up jumper cables the wrong way in auto tech class. When i was 1st getting started. I hooked up negative to positive and positive to negative. Started the car spark.... saw some smoke...... I got out the car like hmm it didn't start. I took of the jumper cables threw them on the floor thinking they were garbage. When i went back to cleaning them up i realized the cooper teeth were gone! hahahaha

What's really funny is how far they let that jack go into the door before they realized they might be doing it wrong!!!

Haha I used to work in a body shop that did a lot of work for Maplewood Lexus. One of the other painters put a jumper box backwards on an IS250 and fried the ECU. It cost the shop about $1400 to replace it.

isn't there supposed to be a fuse that blows if you hook battery cables up backwards?

lol. I've seen plenty of times where people have jacked it from the oil pan. Some cars are so rusty, it goes right through the car. lol.

Back when i was in california, i was fabbing some pipes for my buddies intercooler. I knew it would be a long night and the kid wanted me to change his oil as well. I told him there wouldnt be enought time for me to do everything, so he should just jack up his car and do it himself while i am cutting the pipes. (we were in my works warehouse area that had all kinds of nifty tools.)
First fail question:
"Umm... where do i put the Jack"
Well you can start with under the car. lol So i show him where to brace it.
Next Fail:
Im back cutting and he comes in, "How do i change my oil?" ARE YOU SERIOUS.
I tell him to undo the drain plug into a pan, then take off the filter, then fill it up and you are done.
Final Fail:
I come walking over and hes pouring in his large jug of oil.... i stop dead in my tracks. "umm... did you put the drain plug back in?" "FUCK" Well time to go get some more mobile 1. ::SLAPS HEAD::

Somebody did the same thing to my SC300. Took me a while to fix enough of the fuses to get it running again. The air bag and traction control systems on it are still broken from it.
