[Shuie]

I put a JET chip in a 2 week old 1996 Ford Ranger pickup. It made it to the end of the block before the engine died. The road was on an incline so I had to get someone to use another car to push me back to the house. Somehow this blew the end of the power steering reservoir off and showered the engine compartment with power steering fluid. The dealership fixed everything under warranty and told me there was actaully gas in the crankcase when they took it apart. I vowed never to try to work on another car again after that experience.

Somehow, I forgot about that about 6 months ago. I bought my '73 knowing there was a little rust in the car and not thinking it would not be a big deal to fix. Its completely disassembled and on jackstands in my garage right now and wont be mobile for a good while. If thats not good enough, does stripping 4 layers of paint from my passenger side galvanized SC flare with a wire wheel on a 4.5" angle grinder count? If anyone gets a kick out of these, look for future post from me asking for help on this site as I start putting the car back together.

This is the worst I've ever known anyone to do. It wasnt me, a buddy of mine in college did this:

He buys a brand new Z71 pickup and decides to change the oil after a few hundred miles. He drains the transmission by mistake and adds the recommended new oil. I dont remember if it was the engine or transmission that went first or how far he actually made it down the street.
