Tales of woe. I bought a motorcycle (1972 Honda CB350F) to take miles off my (Dad's) 1971 Karmann Ghia (he let me drive it as my own). I thought I would do my own oil change on the motorcycle. When I tightened the oil drain plug bolt I heard a *CRACK* and oil started to leak out. I had cracked the oil drain pan. $80 later (that was a lot of money to me back then) I had a new pan and a healthy fear of my own two hands.

Here's the irony. Guess how I totalled my (Dad's) Karmann Ghia (at 10 miles an hour)?
