I feel so stupid........arggggggggghh

Well to make a long story short, I put a thread on which looks better, RE AD9 side Mirrors or the Stock ones. Majority said stock, so I change them, after replacing them, put back the panels checked it if it works and it does until the passenger window pulled the wire to the mirrors, so put it back on and now the window wont roll down...that pissed me off...So I go to work and said I will look at it after work, I get on the forum and checked for threads and saw that I might have shut the window off..So I rushed home and guess what...That was it.....

Feeling stupid right now....all that worry for nothing...

LOL thats awesome... I had a similar experience when I installed my downpipe and couldnt get one of the nuts back on because the bend of the pipe was in the way... I hopped on the forum and was told to just pull the downpipe away from the turbo a little and that would give enough clearance. I seriously wanted to kick myself..

you think you feel stupid ill tell you a story. i washed my car inside and out one day and after i drove my girlfriend home and while we are driving i notice her window wont go down. so when we get at her house she goes inside and gets ready to go back out and while she is doing that i popped my hood looking for if water got in somewhere or what not (oh so you know i have hood pins with no hood latch) so i look all around and couldnt see where any water could have gotten that would stop the window from going down.... so i look inside the car and behold its the window switch so i pushed it and bam the window goes down.. so i get out the car put my hood down...my girl gets out her house into the car . so we are driving down the street i hit like 50mph and BAM the hood flys up smashes the windshield, the roof. my girl is about to **** her pants and i am too. trying to slow down with having a hood infront of me and no sight. but it all worked out for the better insurance hooked me up and i bought my scoot carbon fiber hood! but that was stupid as hell of me i always check to see if the hood pins are locked!!! so see you dont look so bad

LOL... how about this one. I was replacing my front shocks and I couldn't get the drivers side shock out to save my life. I banged on it with a hammer for 3 hours, bent it to all hell, and it wouldn't give. I only had one side of the car jacked up at the time... the next day I jacked up both sides and the shock came out in 3 seconds. ****** genius .
