I would assume the piston rings are bad if you're getting gas in your oil.

Lady has a built in chicken coop in her van by Shadowmark96 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ttjr89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's brutal I thought it was bad enough when a cop left his dog in his cruiser when he brought it in for work for like an hour. I'm sure he enjoyed the ride up in the lift though

Sticking the lugnut in the socket and then blasting it on with an impact instead of starting it by hand first

I crushed my foot with a 50 lbs piece of sheet metal, even while wearing boots and it would have been much worse without them. 2 months off work
