I have several.
1. 911 - first time I jacked up car I had just bought w/ floor jack, squished oil line to oil cooler.
2. 911 - installed new cap and rotor, didn't secure cap properly, rotor scratched the crap out of new cap which had to be replaced.
3. Mercedes C230 - in fading light, installed one new brake pad backwards (backing plate to rotor). Made bad noise and scratched brand new Merc cross-drilled rotor. Flipped around, brakes work great but still have noise when coming to stop.
4. MR2 track car - wet/dry conditions, didn't check lugs between sessions, had wheel come off on front straight and roll by me (fortunately I felt vibration as lugs came off and had slowed down).
5. BMW M3 - cross threaded bolt holding down front seat, broke off stud trying to force it. Had to pay shop to extract stud and install new one through floorpan.
6. can't remember car, trying to see oil leak, oil drop went directly into my eye. Was like those alien dudes in X-Files.
