The Most Stupid Things You've Done With A Car

1. Petrol in the eye and mouth...

“This week - when I was feeling a little bit ‘fragile’ - I spent 10 minutes loosening the bolt on my rear shock absorber, only to realise that I was tightening the hell out of it to the point of shearing!

“2 hours later - still feeling ‘fragile’ - I swapped out the fuel filter, and in the process poured petrol into my eye and mouth. Don’t do it - hurts like a mopho!”

6. Slammed the door...on myself

7. Forgot I was in an auto...

8. I washed my mom's car seats

“When I was a kid I had heard that my dad ‘washed his car seats’ so I decided to give a nice surprise to my mom and do the same thing to her car. Except I didn’t know how to do it so I used a garden hose and a LOT of water. She wasn’t that happy but a salesman at insurance company was impressed with my skills”.
