me, nothing so terrible yet, about a week after owning my first car I changed the oil and didn't expect it drain out so fast which dumped about a litre next to the oil catch pan I had centered under the plug. After that I overfilled the car with oil as I didn't think about the incline it was sitting on, no damage done though but before I drove it, it was taken to a mechanic and he latter explained it blew alot of smoke for a few minutes after he changed the oil. I think the only other real slip up iv made was when I did a very butchered speaker install, I have a porsche 924 which uses very hard to find speaker sizes and clearence depth. so I did what many others had done, I planned to dremel the whole bigger but It was too tough for the dremel and it was slow going and shredding discs, in the end, make some straight cuts and with a hammer banged the whole out and then bent the metal to hold the speaker in place with pressure. I added a little foam carpet padding to keep the metallic noise down behind it. Ugly as ALL hell with the panel off but no visual change with the rear panel back on. I probaly should have taken my time with it but I got fustrated and just wanted to get them in place. I think its a treatment alot of 924/944's have gotten.
