I think about 5% of all targa and t-top owners learn that the hard way.

Worst mistake ever? Being convinced that those $2 deer whistles actually do anything to deter deer. Not one week after putting them on, had my front end demolished by a 6 point buck. The fucker smashed the whistle off with his eyeball. -_-

bought battery for my wife's 2007 camry V6. i went out install. took out old battery and put new one in. i tried to hook up battery wire to + and - poles. i realized new battery +- poles are little far than original one. stupid pepboy guy gave me wrong battery! it was my mistake not checking small thing too. i put old battery back in and tried to start the engine and it doesnt start. i was like WTF!!! and what the F*ck i did question. It was like 9pm and only autozone opened. purchased correct battery and installed. bam! engine started. i returned wrong battery to Pepboy next day. lol

i spent 2 hour battery change job that usually takes less than 10 min job.

not using the 3M tape provided with the front lip kit on the PW:JDM 3 piece. I bolted it on, and didn't think the tape would be necessary since everyone made fun on the "taped lip kits".

Fucker flew off going 110mph+ going to Vegas for a 86 show last summer in the desert. My 3M taped wing stayed intact however.. Tried to salvage the front lip, but a semi drove over it in to pieces. That was embarrassing and shitty at the same time. Now I use both 3M tape and bolts to put anything on my car externally.
