That’s quite a collection of vehicles that don’t run well. The next logical purchase would be a rollback.

valero douche bags decided to insert the bolt wrong and then proceed to fck the caliper.


of course the dremel was seized and needed surgery


better




now the bolt sits flush and removes/installs smoothly after grinding off the piece that they squished down. sht wouldnt even come out was stuck in there 🙄


always a fkn project

all jokes aside man, but have you considered getting something at decent market price that is, reliable and doesn't require any projects or maintenance. I think it'd be nice to have while you work on all these other projects..

yes, best thread on rennlist though

i began this journey with the thought of “how do you call your self a car guy if you cant help a friend out with some brakes and oil change” , and by the end

OMG, with Friends like this...

Did you end up getting it finished?

I'm sorry to have to tell you. But from what I've seen through this thread, you're not a car guy. If your neighbor buys a pipe wrench, he does not become a plumber. But it's a funny thread. The highlight is the "disassembly" of the exhaust system and the fantastic completely irrelevant images.

What, in your opinion, makes someone a car guy/girl?

Castro

Well. First and foremost that he knows what he is doing. But you might think of someone who likes cars. But doubt that was what he meant when he was going to fix his friend's Mercedes. Fixing brakes on other people's cars requires approved professional competence in Norway. By the way, what do you think a plumber is?

ejabour

A plumber is a profession. A "car guy" is, in my opinion, simply someone who likes cars. It is an apples and oranges comparison.

Maybe you misunderstood the term "car guy" for "mechanic"?

Castro

He called himself a car guy, and therefore he considered himself competent to fix his friend's car. That's my point. Would you let him touch your car? He's a car guy after all. But I agree with you that a car guy is usually someone who likes cars. My 6 year old son also likes cars.

'Car guy' is a bit ambiguous. Maybe the OP can clarify what he meant? Do you not have issues with law enforcement while working on cars that late on what appears to be public property?

jaredomin

Yea 😂. Had to finish at the train station cus it was too loud too late. Moral of the story, the valero gas station guys should not work on your s550. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ Youre in better hands in front of my house 😂
