All the time. Heck I just got a brand new phenolic carb spacer today, went outside to see if it would fit, dropped it taking it out of that package and it hit the concrete just right and broke. $30 right down the drain. If it wasn't so funny I'd cry. :rofl:

Well I didn't really mess up anything, but after taking the carpets out, and finding the truck tranny in there I said f**k this.

My list of screw ups is nearly epic.. lol
It's part of the process. As we say "It comes out nice because we do it twice"

man I am glad I am not the only one I like that quote by the way"It comes out nice because we do it twice" but up until now i have always gone by "do it right the first time" but damn

I tell all my potential employees if they say they know everything and don't mess up then your not going to work for me. You only get better from learning from your mistakes as long as you don't do it more than three times. Taking your time to lay something out is more proficient than rushing.
