Admit your Garage Mistakes

[XH-Fan119]

sad to say this,
instaling a new cd player in the missus's camry became a real castrophe.
first things when we bought the camry it had a replacement hook for the bonnet catch, made it hard to close and open but wasnt a real problem. got started on removing the cassete player to put in cd player by disconnecting battery leaving bonnet open, after 30 mins and several words that should never be repeated it worked. i reconnect battery and only closed the bonnet on hook not on the catch aswell,

left home hit the 90 signs there's this horrible rattle... thought it might be a shifter in the engine bay as i couldn't remember removing it and just as she was slowing down so we could check... Bang! our vision is engulfed by a white bonnet, scariest thing in the world at 80ks.... turns out hook couldnt take the pressure snapped its cheapo spring flung the bonnet at us distorting itself destroying its hinges and cracking a windscreen.....
there was this redface of rage staring at me for weeks untill i got new hinges, but the bonnet remains the same, distorted.

i told her it adds character to an otherwise boring vehicle, she just glared in rage. "gulp"
