A friend of mine put up This Page of broken, mangled and otherwise garberated parts and tools. Some fun stuff!

my god I come across stuff like that every day at work. If it wasn't forklifts and manbaskets I might get a few people to look at them.

While I was working at Venetor the night shift guys and I kept a "bathroom reader" of photocopied work orders and parts requisitions. I collected 26 pages of irredeemable stupidity in the six months I worked there.

Ooh! Share!

well for example, some retard did a road call on a Skyjack electric scissor that had its pothole protector microswitches out of sync with its drive cutout height microswitches and somehow came to the conclusion that the 20-conductor platform control cable had a break in the wire and put in a req for 26 feet of that sh** at $20/ft. Even had the service manager sign off on it.

and there was that "additional service required" form listing broken turntable bolts on a 126 FOOT boomlift that went out on a six month rental. With broken turntable bolts.

Then there's that tech who liked to draw smiley faces on oil filters beside the date changed, and wrote "many moons ago" in the service logbooks in the warranty expiry date. Nice and professional.

I left the company after I found one of my ASR forms torn up in the trash and the 80 footer I had red tagged on its way to Dofasco with its emergency pump not working. I now work across the street at JH Ryder.

I still pop over there with a 12 to shoot the sh** with the night shift every now and then.

That 350 Vega must have had some really good traction...

or very well modified rear brakes, with double calipers: one for the foot other for the handbrake, and a very hard headed driver.

I'm surprised the u-joints didn't fail first.

Meh. SBCs don't have that kind of torque.

Sure they do, just ask any shabbyrolet owner: "Man, my engine's so powerful I've broken two crankshafts, four pistons , three conrods and I'm on my second engine block!"

I guess they do, what with them balanced and blueprinted 4 bolt blocks.

Let's also not forget the 350 big-block.

Psh. Shabby owners.
