What's wrong with this picture?

POLL: What's wrong with this picture?

1) The woman is getting way too upset over nothing.
2) He's using the wrong brand of oil.
3) Working with the TV on is a major mistake. It's distracting!
4) All of the above.

He's using a claw hammer to work on his car.

So much for the "poll". Besides, isn't that someone's interpretation of a VW motor?

The claw hammer is for the woman, not the engine. See how it leans on the couch? Ready to use in a moments notice.

I think what's wrong is he's installed a piston on the outside of the engine.

judging from the oil can on the floor, I'd say he's not using Brad Penn.

I clearly remember that day from my youth. So I can say without a doubt that what is wrong with the picture is...

- our TV wasn't that big
- it was a VW engine but with a big bore kit and a hot cam and a single Weber (which is missing in the pic)
- I did put a drop cloth on the floor so the carpet was protected, sorta
- the oil was Castrol 20w-50
- and I am still waiting for the royalties from this strip!

There are several things wrong.....
1 The lady (it may not be his wife) has her clothes on....
2 There looks to be 2 rather gay looking guys on the TV
3 He has actually broken his train of thought to entertain the Lady

Lack of Beer.

What's wrong with having an engine in the living room? I had a nice 800HP chevy in mine for a while while building it (clean of course) when I had an apartment. Wife helped me carry the parts up to the apartment.

Right now I have a crank, p&c, cams, rockers, and some misc. bits in the living room from my 68 911S. Even had the P&C on a tv tray while I was examining and measuring them. Heck, I chem-dipped them in the living room to clean them! Too cold in the garage.

I was once given a small bit of advice from an old Porsche friend... "Never rebuild your engine in the living room unless you want to get a divorce." So far I have not needed this advice...
