If you’re counting everything down to the smallest screw, a single car has about 30,000 parts. That’s way too many for us average folk to maintain. This means that over time, bad things happen, and we need to take our metal horsies to the mechanic to fix them.
But the state of some of our cars… Due to money shortage, ignorance, or neglect, we DIY or pretend we don’t see a problem when it’s clear that a professional has to take care of it. So when the inevitable occurs and we pull up to their place begging for help, the poor fellas know they’re stuck with it for good.
There’s even a subreddit for such situations. r/JustRolledIntoTheShop is a community that collects “those absolutely stupid things” that we bring, roll, or toss into their businesses and car mechanics are pretty popular there. Continue scrolling and you’ll understand why.
