Default Some people should not work on their own cars
I ran across this on reddit and got a good laugh out of it.

Talk about a FAIL. In my automotive career... I've learned that anything is possible. Is it real? Who knows. If it is... wow. Just wow. Some people are only alive because it's illegal to kill them.

Exactly. Just because we are a forum of automotive enthusiasts, where 99% of us would never do something like that, doesn't mean that there isn't somebody out there who is stupid enough to do it.

I believe you are supposed to weld your spider gears, but I may be wrong.

I thought so. He obviously has some knowledge about cars, and I don't see how somebody with mechanical knowledge could do something that stupid. But I supposed it's possible.

Appreciate you clearing that up! I still think it's funny as hell though.
