Whats the stupidest thing you did this week? well since the week is young lets include last week aswell..the reason i am posting this is cause i proved to myself on sunday that i was an idiot.
so i was sitting there bout to do an oil change on the camaro.i got down on the ground to jack it up and i noticed there was a fat hole in my Cat u figured i would have heard the leak on the way to my house from grandmas but i didnt.then i put it up on jackstands break out my welder and connect it to a power strip that only has a 10 amp circuit breaker.so magicaly i turn it on and strike the first arc and the thing popped.i looked everywhere trying to figure out why it shut off.after about 10 minutes of being an idiot i figured it out. then i started trying to weld the 1/20in metal with like 100amps to much and burnt a bigger hole in the ******. after i adjusted it the way it should have been to begin with i stike another arc and the wire feeder is turned up to high so then i had like 6 inches of wire hangin out.so whats my dumbass do.i grabbed the ******* wire to bend it back with my hand that didnt have the welding glove on and burnt the **** outta it..after that i finished it and did the oil change but i just thought i would share that with u guys...
what about u guys i kno u have dun sumthing idiotic this week

Thats a funny thing about brothers they tend to do that. I let my brother take my car to prom and I told him not to get on it, he brings it home and isnt even smart enough to clean the rubber off my bumper.
The stupid est thing I did this weekend was not study for two test I have early this week.

Helped my buddy do his oil change but neglected to check his work.... 5.5 quarts of fully synthetic down my fu**ing driveway.... then as he went to fill it back up he assumed it was all the way drained...so he over filled it. Trying to let some of it out (i had now taken over) i deced to expedite the situation by draining before it had cooled (we had takin it around the block a few times before noticeing the overfill) needless to say my hand is on ice... and my driveway is stained.... I think im going to wait on helping my next buddy on an oil change..... BEAT THAT!
