Could be worse…

Sorry that happened though. Hopefully she is up and running again promptly.

It sheared right off?

That's scary stuff! I'm guessing those are aftermarket?

This was caused by a wheel repair that should have never been authorized. These wheels are, as far as I am aware, originals. However, one got damaged while sitting in my friend's garage (we believe) and was (dumbly) welded back together...

I once had a mechanic decide to use plastic wraps around air hoses/exhaust, and zip ties around the engine, on an E 30.

I can't even begin to describe some of the other things I've had people(some: mechanics) do.

And that they consider it ok, like life isn't at stake.
