What starts out as a simple Saturday morning job turns into a race to finish before sundown.

my top 2 would have to be rust and money. if there was never any rust and didn't cost the same as a 1957 camaro conversion kit to replace some yellow headlights i would be happy.

Oh my god, wow. I've made a few mistakes (none come even close to that) but holy freaking ****. WHAT the HECK?!?!? Where would you even begin to start cleaning that off. I would think after one drive that would be one big grease/muddy mess. I agree, there would be no way I would work under that car.

I usually go in my garage, and then an hour later can't remember why I went out there. Case in point, today I went out to start my electric fan install. To do so, I need to yank the radiator. To do that, I need a catch can for coolant. They were all 3 full, so I needed to put that fluid somewhere. In the garbage can, I find 3 gallon mil containers. I open those to find they BADLY need a rinse first. After a rinse, I am able to then full them with oil/coolant. After doing that, and then cleaning the slight mess I made, an hour had passed, and I had really yet to even start on what I came out to do.
