Some ideas:
“The Pelican is a mildly talented amateur wrench”
- You could use the “admit to your stupidity thread” for ideas…
Things he might do:
Torque a nut hard enough to break the stud … again
Spill oil onto his face when under car
Start a siphon with his mouth and get a mouthful of gas
Start a small fire - funny because he manages to catch something on fire that normally wouldn't burn
Has grease under nails at a black tie event
I sconfused by directions with new "easy bolt on performance part"
Has a handful of parts left over when car/engine is back together
Enters his car in a “concours de n’elegance pas” or Concours d’Inelegance
Is envious of friend with newer version of his car (friend is envious of Pelican's car)
A part from his car is handed to him at the end of an AX course along with a DNF time slip
Cross threads something… again. Right after finishing a Helicoil repair.
Wife calls to him in garage that her mother is visiting - causing him to start over on a project he is almost done with.
Good Luck,
Jim

GREAT IDEA . . . . as I have done all of the above I am sure to receive residuals from Wayne when the cartoons are released? ? ? HA! HA! HA!
