Had a nightmare drive yesterday!
Went out a wee cruise with a few mates seen as it was a decent day and we went to a little beach but who was leading failed to tell me the last part of the drive was a narrow dirt track filled with potholes on the roads and major camber on the road so I ended up scraping and rattling my bumper off 3 1/4 of the road there. Won't be going back anytime soon

They're getting on a bit now though! I used to have 2 but ditched it for dual Nvidia 460 GTXs

I'll stick to Nvidia, purely because of decent Linux support.
Last time I had an ATi (HD4870) the driver quality was downright awful.
BUT ATi is far better at GPGPU and mathematical power.
BUT Nvidia has CUDA? Hmmm, decisions.
And I'll avoid SLi, it has its uses, just not for me.

I'm bit of a "fanboi" I admit.
I used to run Folding@Home a few years back, got a lot of work done.
Thinking of a high power, energy efficient ATi build purely for folding which I can just SSH into.

Drained some oil out the sump.
Measured a little high on the dipstick...simple I thought.
Well, I jacked the car up, got a 2L bottle and cut the side off to catch the oil. Gently undone the sump plug but accidentally dropped it into the bottle!
Problem: 2L bottle wont hold more than 2L of oil So I had to quickly dig around trying to find the plug whilst making sure I didn't spill any oil.
Well, I spilled a some oil (mopped up with kitchen towel and cleaned the floor), drained a bit too much and then realised I had no fresh oil.
So back in goes the crud I just drained out...
Realising I actually wanted slightly thicker oil I drained the oil again! and filled up with some old 15-40 I had kicking about.

Haha I used to work in IT and I'm now a student again doing media, I'm about as far away from being a mechanic as humanly possible! I also have gay hair and lady arms!
The biggest hurdle for me and a lot of people when it comes to gaining mechanical knowledge is time - not in a 'oh I'm so busy all the time' sense, but because my car is my only means of transport, if I ever want to do any work it HAS to be done by the end of Sunday. Never done any big projects but I'm not looking forward to the time when I eventually have to accept the fact I'll be using the bus for a couple of weeks
