‘A guy hung an air freshener from the exhaust pipe’
You may think that owning a car requires you to be a responsible driver — and adult. Wrong. Knowing how to take care of an automobile is not a prerequisite for buying one, and Reddit’s finest mechanics can attest to this fact. Over the years, they’ve seen decisions ranging from the questionable, like hanging an air freshener from the exhaust pipe, to the dangerous as hell, like pouring a jug of oil in the fuel tank.
Drivers new and old can learn a lot from these cautionary tales, not just for safety reasons, but to at least make sure the mechanics aren’t laughing at you after you leave the body shop.
