Anyone who works on cars will understand this fun. Helped my dad replace the sub-frame on his challenger this morning, so much fun torque'n bolts to 140ft lbs while laying on your back. lol

NOPE! I'll stick to checking tire pressure or changing oil filters.

Spoken like someone who's never had to rip the shocks and drive shafts out of a car because the previous owner let it sit too long and all of the joints locked up. Then had to replace the brake rotors too, only to find out that the same previous owner had bought the wrong size rotors and just hammered them on, thus requiring a gear puller, a big wrench, and a lot of swearing to get it apart. Then the exhaust fell out......

Yeah, my first car had a lot of problems.

I was a 91B and they found out REAL quick I had no aptitude for mechanical work. They asked what I DID know and I was like "Yup...that's an engine...and that would be tires. Uh...and that concludes my knowledge.".
