That first one seemed okay, until i hit that picture at the bottom of the first page, lol. Obviously someone's never heard of shear strength before...

Re: Official car DIY epic fails (threads not pics)

I remember the NOS and cobra fails from before. The others, oh my.. lol.. And the "general fails" one, not so much fails, but a dude hella hating on random ****.. Some of them were legit fails though.. lol

Here's one from 2005.. Dude used a sock as a makeshift oil cap after dropping his into his engine bay. Result: Sock gets sucked into engine
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=311931

edit:
NOS install by drilling into the valve cover of an S2000
http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/1740...king-on-s2000/

SRT4 owner couldn't get the drain plug off, so gets the bright idea of running the car with the oil filter off to get all the oil out.. Not a member of SRTforums, so I can't see the thread, but I remember it from early 2000s, and this thread from another forum has the cliffs notes
