I can name 700 other unpleasant things I'd rather do...

...than work on a car.

And most of them would involve my penis.

I just spent 45 minutes of the last three hours trying to retrieve a fallen socket.
Trying to pull a dead alternator from an '02 BMW X5.

Socket fell and hid behind a pulley. Took 25 minutes to locate it.

Can't locate the lower laternator bolt.

Who builds these cars? GERMANS??

Must be payback!

You can think of 700 unpleasant things to do with your penis?

Good heavens...

Please provide a list. The first dozen or so will do.

Cutting it off would be a start
For use as a dog chewtoy, a close second.

Snap it in a rat trap
#4 involves a large amount of beer, a mercury thermometer, and a little "bendy straw" action.
A replacement for a cat scratching post is #5.
Some 120 current would work well, too.
A fishing trip for some Candiru fish
Piercing
Splitting
Peeling
Ghost Pepper-based lubricant
Slam it in a door

That good?

You sir, are a victim of what a mechanic I know refers to as...

TYPICAL GERMAN KNUCKLEHEAD ENGINEERING



He works on mostly foreign cars, used to race a Sprite, and has sort of a Larry the Cable Guy vibe about him.

These are things you would rather do than work on your car? Yeow!!
I can understand if it's your wife's car. Slamming it in a door and snapping a rat trap on it doesn't sound bad after 20 years of .... ah, never mind.
