When unloading groceries I noticed that one of the license plate lights was out. By fingering around the inside of the bootlid, I got it to work again. Okay, so it wasn't really broken broken, but hey, it still counts, right?

I stopped reading when I got to "fingering around inside the bootlid."

Did you use a hammer?

Oooops, nope! But I think Clarkson in his one SUCCESSFUL event didn't either.

If that is your 944, wait until you have a 'boot' full of groceries and the hatch wont open. Good Times crawling over the seats and pulling enough out to get the carpet down and hit the hatch releases.

Reminds me of the time my son and I were changing his oil and could not for the life of me get his filter off. Used filter wrenches to no avail, moved to hammer/screwdriver and finally to some massive channel lock pliers. The filter was completely mangled and I still could not get it to come off. My 17 year old son steps up and grabs the pliers and grunts like he's taking a massive 'Guacamole', or as he pronounced it at 5 "Kamaladukie" and broke it loose finally. He looked at me, gave me the muscle man pose and said "Mom don't allow guns this big in the house". Thought I was gonna die laughing but gave him a 'Good Job' and we finished the oil change.

That's Clarkson in the pic, hence the whole reference.

Can't see his face, thought maybe it might be you. EU tags should have given me a clue. blah.

And just to confuse you a little more, if it was mine, it would still have EU tags.

Damn you. I clicked on the title expecting to see a half naked Kelly Clarkson or one of Jeremy Clarkson's daughters. Doh!

I had a car that had an old points type fuel pump, the points where old and worn out so it kept conking out.

No worries though, as every time the car stopped, i would nonchalantly open the bonnet, acquire a hammer and hit the fucker until it started clicking again, fixing the car and looking like the biggest badass ever.

Looked even cooler when i forgot the hammer and had to punch it instead...
