Urgent help please.

I try to be as sober as possible before I attempt any sort of work that involves tools.

You're right. I did think that At least you're entertaining

You are a good man and you impress me with your willingness to be a human being here -- warts and all.

Good job, my friend.

Good job, my friend.
Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. I try to be nice and entertaining even when I am totally narked off. A bit like now, I used the hair dryer and eventually messaged the ding in the lower middle of the bumper out as best I could. The devil inside me wants to keep at it until its like brand new! I know in my heart however it will never be like brand new but why keep going until you destroy it? Welcome to my life

Putting under tray back and gonna write up my oil change in the service book and staple receipt in there also, in case I need to make a warranty claim in the future. I dont want Nissan to think I never changed the oil or maintained the car...

I hear ya

The first time I did the differential and transmission fluid changes on the Z, I was at my buddy's place using his ramps. We did it on an incline such that having one set of wheels on ramps made the car level with enough room under the car by the ramps. For safety, we put jack stands under the car as well. After the transmission flush, we needed to turn the car around to do the differential. Backing it off the ramps, I hear a loud metal bang and scrape - we forgot to take the jack stands out

Live and learn, right? Apparently not

My buddy was driving it off the ramps after doing the differential flush and same $hit - we forgot to remove the jack stands
