> [@davesmopar](#): > > I am sure most of the Pro mechanics could write a book on funny/stupid stuff we have seen… On You Tube, there is an entire channel devoted to that topic. I think that most mechanics will be able to appreciate seeing the bizarre problems (mostly caused by the car’s owner… ) on vehicles that “just rolled in”. Enjoy!

> [@davesmopar](#): > > I am sure most of the Pro mechanics could write a book on funny/stupid stuff we have seen Certainly. The sad thing is that as many of the funny/stupid things have come from other shops! Another shop towed in a Mustang for me to get running. They said it was flooded and couldn’t figure it out. Sure! How hard can it be to install some dry spark plugs and diagnose a no start? Turns out “flooded” meant car was stolen and found nose down in the river, with muddy water up to and including the ECM. 😆 ---

Obviouslyou don’t know much. Those tires also dig into deep snow from the sides. That new brake pad also creates additional friction, copying what is done on railroad wheels. ---

I just replace the four wheel drive switch in my truck. My brain is imagining me totally screwing up, having the truck towed to dealer for a $$$$ repair. It took me five minutes, works perfectly. ---

Isn’t there a common-sense saying that goes something like _“If something can go wrong, it will”_? … lol … If this saying is accurate, bad news, b/c there are certainly a lot of ways to make a mistake during car repairs. ---

Not common sense saying, it is the first of many of Murphy’s Laws. This is a short list. ![IMG_2383](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/f/5/f5f7ece2aa864859c3401a6657e32e2661999b2c.jpeg) ---

That list left off one VERY important thing . . . ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/d/1/d1c0b11765ca6268485db1ef086c718776febe0a.png) Last time I checked, people crave steak and potatoes, chips, soda and candy bars People don’t crave lettuce, water and carrots ---

1. Clearly a manufacturing defect. The sidewall bubbles should be equal sized all the way around. 2. Obviously, they mounted a right-side pad on the left side wheel. 😉 [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/can-you-spot-the-problem/194201.md?page=1)
