Story: Back in high school, I always wanted a VW bus. FriendA had one rotting in his backyard for cheap, but was too busy getting high and chasing tail to get it running.
-FriendA was an excellent theoretical mechanic, but just plain lazy.
I changed the oil/filter and bought a battery.
When attaching the ground wire there was a big spark, indicating a massive short.
FriendB said "hook it up and we'll just replace the bad wire"
-FriendB could fix any machine on this planet using vise grips and duct tape, but was reckless in life.
I attached the battery, and the dash promptly caught on fire. By the time we got back with an extinguisher most of the interior was gone.
