Sounds like my Jeep's to do list. Lol

Some of it could be banged out in an hour or 2. But who has 2 free hours?

As much as we love our cars, it's still a chevy! Just fix it before the list grows, because as the day s long, it will. If its any comfort I have procrastinated with fixing my BCM, the rear marker light, a loose heat shield, and a missing center cap. All because I would rather drive it than work on it. Oh and it only starts when it wants to.

got the stuck oil cap off, but then i was scared to put it all the way back on.

well today it fell off and melted between the headers....FML

Sorry to hear that man...

I've had tools fall out from under the car going down the highway..

**Spikito** · 03-20-2011, 03:42 PM

Luckily it was hot enough that it slid right out and didn't really leave any residue behind, didn't string apart, just left a little black stain

LOL, I've popped the hood 2 days later to find (insert random tool) still sitting there.

**Spikito** · 03-20-2011, 10:06 PM

I can't count the number of times I've left the plug off of my A/C fill cap

Happend to me just the other day. A couple of weekends ago I replaced the air filter and left the screwdriver sitting on the lip between the front of the car and the core support. It was still there when I opened up the hood to check the oil when I filled it up with gas. My thought: "So that's where it was"...

So did you use it again? haha

My thing was gas caps on my 81 Camaro. It didnt have the string holding it so I would either set it on top of the gas pump or rest it between the trunk and the spoiler. Lost quite a few of them one summer. Half the time I shut the damn sections between the lights as if I put it back on. I suck so bad.
