i was putting a new timing belt on a madza 626 at work, and had the cam gears off too for some reason...well i didn't mark which was intake and which was exhaust so when i put them back on, i mixed them up... i left work soon after cuz i had a class and ended up coming back the next day to see the airbox in a ****load of pieces. the car supposedly backfired so bad when a coworker fired it up that it blew the box up and sounded like a shotgun blast LOL i wish i was there to see it tho, it was probably pretty kickass in a dumbass way

I once drained my tranny by accident and then filled the engine up with oil

One time I was replacing the fitting hole on my oil feed line to the turbo, and when I went to turn it back on, I left the hose out and it sprayed oil all over my motor. Then after I cleaned everything up, I filled the oil back up but left the oil cap off. More oil spilled all over the place. I felt like a complete moron.

i tried to teach my ex gf to drive stick... good thing i was already planning to put a new clutch in.

had a customer come into the parts store i work at and tell me he dropped a bolt into his carb and decided to start it up thinking it would blow it back out of the carb. apparently he doesnt know the meaning of the word intake....

This is why I wouldn't teach my ex how to drive stick. I JUST got a clutch put in the old car. I wasn't about to let her ruin that one.
