"Left hand drill bit". I know that I've heard of those before (here, actually) but always forget about them. I remember breaking a bolt off in something when I was a teen. Ugh, what a horrible experience.

I'm pretty sure when you break a bolt off, that the car is then a write off. Better to just trash it and get a new one that doesn't have a broken bolt.
