Funny moment I had today

[cwilliamsws6]

So I'm currently halfway through replacing the faulty ignition switch in my mom's Honda Element, she ended up buying a new switch that came with the whole tumbler/cylinder assembly and a set of keys, and I was having trouble with two of the bolts that hold it in so I took a break from that and started putting new brakes on my Pathfinder because I've put that off for a month now.

When I went to take the wheel off my Pathfinder, I noticed one of the lug nuts was missing, and then when I got the wheel off, I realized the whole stud somehow was sheared off!

So I had to take the original ignition that I did not yet have fully removed from my mom's Element and get it wired back up so I could at least start the car, and I drove her car with the steering column all torn apart as a parts runner for my own car.

You could have driven that vehicle with 4 studs and lug nuts, not forever but down to the parts store and back for sure. You probably had been driving it that way for some time.

I ordinarily would have, but my dad's truck, which I also happened to be doing an oil change on at the time, was on the driveway in front of my car which was in the garage.

Been a busy day for me in the garage. As you see I also have a bad habit of starting too many projects at the same time.

When trying to juggle working on three vehicles at one time hopefully won't forget finishing the oil change without adding oil back in.

I tend to do several things at once also, but oil changes I start and finish. Definitely a rule I don’t break.

I started a circus like you, three vehicles also. I had parts for each job, including some extras that I could find digging into each job. Trans filter was wrong, on the other vehicles I found worn joints that were easy to replace while in there, and I refused to put things back together without replacing them. Lazy, stubborn, stupid..
Each local parts store had them all in stock at, order total was about $500, no one would deliver that day. They were too busy to do private delivers bc shops came first..

Used uber for the first time.. 4 miles to the store, 4 miles home. $62 total. my butt hurt
