Lighting FAIL
So yesterday, my dad and I decided to completely tear threw the hangar and get rid of all the **** that we don't need. Washing the walls and the floors, sweeping and organizing, etc..
Any way, about 7 hours later, the **** looks great! We washed all the cars and I gave the 97 Viper a nice coat of hard wax, my truck is completely mexican packed with all the **** we are throwing away, all the tools and equipment are nicely stowed away in their proper places. Everything went very, very well.
Until....my dad walks in my room and says, "Hey check out what I did."
I walk out into the hangar and he tells me he fixed all the lights....except one.
I look at the fixture over the miata and see a bulb missing. I look down and I see a smashed flourescent light in my engine bay
It was an accident but, a very time consuming clean up. I went over the entire car and engine bay with a shop vac and i'm sure I got most of it out. The biggest problem was that I was in the middle of changing the oil restrictor and pan fitting, so the turbo, wastagate and all the other **** was half way off and the glass got everywhere!!!

Alright, give me a break. It is the afternoon and I am a little tispy....
My grammar is usually spot on but, please forgive me for my errors.
I am in school and actually doing very, very well. I am attending UCF in January for Mechanical Engineering as well as my Musician classes.

I love you guys!

Does any one have any FAIL stories to share or is my grammar just the hot topic for now?
Pics will be soon. I'll post up the street viper and the Hennessy Viper as well as the miata disaster area.

You know... after looking it up, I can't find a "correct" way to spell it... half the time "e" is used, the other half "a" is used. Oh **** it....that's what I get for having 6 TVs radiating my brain for 8 hours a day :( (Does that count as my fail story of the day?)

Got kinda lucky. 30psi spike on a stock 2.3L ford Lima..
Most of the compression piston ring were missing. Theres a few pieces of it that were stuck in the CAST IRON CYLINDER HEAD, and a few can be seen in the face of the piston...
Cracked the piston from face to skirt completely through!! More fail soon to come when I get a turbo on the miata... haha
