    i can completely understand doing something like that for reasons like keeping and eye on your own car, but to track your childs...i dont think thats moral

    I'm going to bust on myself, here are a couple of the dumb things I've done:

    I was installing foglights on my car once,
    the drill slipped and I hit the condensor and I was showered with freon.
    It was so thick I couldn't see the car.
    Scared the heck out of me, I didn't know what I hit at first.

    I drilled into my gas tank once.
    It was near the top so it was an easy add a screw fix.

    I'm sure there is more.

    nice lol....i almost shoved a drill through my VX's door the first time i tried to fix my window clips....i probably would have cried lol....(like 3 years ago or more)

    thats the biggest one i can think of...

    oh, and when i was doing my extra brake lights (in the place of the little round reflectors) i dropped my tail light and broke the corner off of it....glued it back together with industrial super glue, and i still have it put in there, i bet ya cant even tell where it happened

    Ok ok, I will add my ignorance....

    Years ago, I came in early to work (when I was a painter) and was apparently too tired to start work, but I did. I wanted to close out a ticket from the day before, which was a wetsand and buff of a hood on a car that was painted the night before. Cars still littered the shop so I did the work in the spraybooth.

    Long story short, I ran the buffer across the hood about 3-4 times before I realized I never put an actual buffing pad on the buffer. Needless to say, it stayed in the spraybooth and the ticket got some "added" repairs to it. *sigh*
