Re: The Stupid Things We Do

I ordered a new Gibson stainless steel cat back exhaust system for my Blazer ZR2. When it arrived of course I was excited, so I hurried to install it. After a couple of days of driving with it, I looked closer at the part number on the carton it came in and put a magnet to the muffler. They had sent me the regular system (not stainless steel) but charged me for the higher priced ss system! (over $100 dollars more) Fortunately I had not taken it out in any wet weather so it still looked like new, and I was able to remove and return it for full refund. This was not really that bad, but since I didn't check BEFORE installing it I still felt like a dope.

The REALLY stupid stuff I did was in other cars long before the Blazers, when I was just a kid. Like street racing my 67 Mustang while I was drunk. But that's whole nother story!
