in my old accord i kept having overheating problems with it and so one day i decided to really get down and dirty and find out whats wrong, turns out the radiator fan was wired with an old extension cord

my fiance has told me many stories when he was an installer.  Like someone grounding their amp to the trunk lid.  running amp wires under the car, Someone using the cardboard box the sub came in for the actual sub box.

I used to see that at CC all the fricking time.  They'd get a head unit installed, and have a "friend" install an amp and use a damn stinger to put in a ground wire.  Then they'd bring it back to us, and say we did it.  Glad the computer always says what they paid for.

How about a kid that tried hooking up an amp but didn't know what the REM was on the amp, but he figured out that if you hook up the 12+ to it, the amp worked.  But couldn't figure out why his battery was drained overnight.

Or A guy that is actually one of the best install guys I know, and does lots of custom work, but when he first started, he did a Semi truck.  He fitted it with a CD Player, Amp for speakers and speakers.  But he wrapped the wires around the steering column to keep them from hanging down.  When the trucker left the lot, and started up the road, ALL of his electronics came ripping through his dash, No more CB, no more Radio, no more nothing.  The ignition even went out.  I wasn't working there at the time, but it was still funny.

Not really a installed problem, but my friend uses computer monitors as his jack stands.

I get what you're saying and laughing.  But pics are still good.

This thread is hilarious. 

Im guilty of ghetto fabricating too. Lol. I have a tub full of a few hundred bolts from my sebring. The spots where all those once were are now bound by zip ties and jb weld. My worst was prolly when i used pantyhose for an air filter. Actually im sure thats not the worst, ill have to think about this.

Wow, I just, wow.
