Just bought a car and got it home and went to change the oil.

Done a routine change, started it up, quickly went into the kitchen to let my wife know I was nearly done and within that 20 second window, oil had burst out of the bottom of the engine and the oil light was on.

I had only had the car for 3 hours.

So tell me, what’s your biggest f*ck up?

    Taking my time doing a top end rebuild on my Holden 253 and my wife says “we are going out tomorrow and we are taking your car”

    I smash this thing back together making sure I keep the bent rods in the same spot they came from etc. Hook up and start… I was in a rush and didn’t earth the block or the alternator.

    Tried to cold crank this baby V8 through the earth of the 2.5 from the headlight. No, the fuses didn’t go because it was all the ground side, but the ground side had the tiny path. OmG the smell! It never left the car!
