Jeebus.
I got into an argument on another forum about a guy who tried to change his oil, drained the tranny instead, then doubled up on the engine oil (of course) and blew his engine and tranny. He noticed the oil he was putting in was nothing like the fluid that came out. He checked the oil and found it way high, ran it anyway, car would not move until about 4,000 rpm, ran it anyway.
My argument was this: "You completely lack any of the basic common sense necessary to attempt any do it yourself project".
His argument was" "Geez dude, cut me some slack, i know I screwed up".
Sigh, you just don't get it do you.

Lol, when I worked for the city we had a wall of shame of junk like this. I once had a department drop off a car with a napkin and wire twisted around a valve stem to keep it from leaking.

Surely he had to know something was up when he had to tear the clips off the top... I'm surprised it didn't weld together during the few drives before he took it back in for the noises.
