Even if you don't like cars, read this. It's the latest internet phenomunumumnumn.
I got it from the Opel Manta site BTW.

heh, reminds me of the guy that clipped the tabs off of his 7800, or the guy that drilled his heatskink into his motherboard...

If that was on Honda-tech, he'd have been flamed so badly. But then the Honda guys are in general a bunch of assholes and kids too young to be mature about things. And that's why they're constantly referred to as ricers.
But I digress. He's a tard for trying the sock thing. Why didn't he just move the car and look for the oil cap? o..O Asshat

there's a guard at the bottom of the engine. BMW provide a tool kit to remove it but I guess he didn't fancy climbing under his car.

Ah. Makes sense. Most BMW's I've seen under the hood have had a lot of plastic crap above it, it only makes sense there'd be some below it too.
Honda is just now starting to do things like that.

My Integra doesn't... you can see to the bottom in most places. There's only a small little splash shield that's attached to the lip, but it doesn't do much.

I love how other people in that forum were trying to defend it as a mistake any rookie could make. I may know next to nothing about cars myself, but I'm pretty sure that stuffing articles of clothing in place of reservoir covers is generally a bad idea.

A BMW M3 is not a "rookie" car, I suspect. Unless it's the guy's first car that daddy bought him...

All that plastic crap made replacing a headlight bulb in my Dads Skoda a frickin' nightmare. Much easier working on my car.

That's why there's engine block heaters.....
....though, my Honda starts at any temp so far, so I have no need for that. I'm not realy sure if it's been 20 below here though.
