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

[viridionplague]

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?

[viridionplague]

apparently not on his jeep, its an older mid 90's cherokee. i saw the aftermath, it was pretty bad

Heck i didnt know...hahahaha I cleaned everything up told my teacher the car started right up >_> It did kind of... Now that i reflect on it though. So much could of gone wrong hahaha. Blow up the battery. Fry the ecu, melt the starter. Ah good oh high school auto tech classes.

[awd-drifter]

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.
