My Ride:
1996 VW Jetta GL

Changing the thermostat in my buddy's Camaro, broke one of the bolts. Spent the next 9 hours trying to get the damn thing out. Finally after drilling and re-tapping the hole, we finally got the housing on. Checking the hood area for leftover tools and what not, what do I find but the brand new thermostat sitting there.

Another time, same bud, trying to put a motor in his truck, we're struggling with everything we have to get the engine to sit properly in the bay. I'm jumping up and down on the thing, he's got a prybar in behind the motor. Turns out he forgot to change the cradles on the motor to the older style for the truck. We nearly took it to a shop to have the mounts relocated.

Those are the two biggies but there have been many over the years...
