what kind of retard loses a diptstick?

>>16564451
My car has this weird fucking plastic trim under the engine. I have dropped the dipstick down there before while changing oil, since I just keep it out after checking and wiping when pouring from big ass jugs instead of 1qt bottles.

It magically landed sideways, just in front of the oil filter.

>>16564436
so an upside down bong

Screwdriver fell down the back of my engine and some how ended up finding its way into an exhaust heat shield. Had a rattle at idle for a while.

>Also who even calls a wrench a spanner?

>>16563202
