Lost several screws... probably fell off somewhere around my block.

I almost lost my socket wrench, screw driver, flash light, and gloves.

lol, I lost a cap for my neuspeed bar too don't know how it happened. I called them and told them I was missing one and they sent me another set, so if you need any let me know, I'll ship them anywhere in the USA [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I also lost one of those black clips, one that clips underneath my bumper. and I lost a candybar in my engine... weeks later when I took out my battery I FOUND it.. practically melted all over my engine bay

the real question is.. how many of those damn clips have you broken [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] me? 3

I HATE dropping things into my engine bay. I flip out and start the search.

The other day I nearly lost my socket wrench into my Ford Contour's bay, I HATE that...

I remember losing 2 screws on the CAI installation. A few things have dropped in the engine bay that were reachable to get out thank goodness.
