Allright, I'm transplanting this one from another forum. These are not all my words.
Copypasta FTW. Here is the orginal thread if you need a laugh.

Guy owns an older BMW M3. Nice enough car, I suppose. Has the usual older-BMW-syndrome (read: crap wrong with it and parts made of, as motoproponent would say, billet unobtanium).
So apparently his transmission output seal starts leaking. Rather than doing the expensive thing, he wheels it into his plywood shed in the back yard and decides to try to replace the seal himself. Everything goes wrong. Rather than dropping the tranny he pulls the driveshaft and exhaust, but can't get the seal out without potentially scoring the machined seal seat. As such, he decides to do the smart thing: take it to the shop (only 200 yards away, apparently)!
Only thing is, to get his car out to the street he needs to push it up a hill in the back yard, its late evening, and its damp out.
So, he goes back into stupid mode.
Enter one oil-cooled Suzuki, a sheet of plywood, and a sketchy piece of yellow nylon rope.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Now I'll be the first to admit I've done some shady wrenching in my life, but this is a bit beyond the normal 'git-r-done' style of mechanics. Note also tha the rear wheels are on backwards and secured by only two lugs. He took them off to clean them while the car was on stands, but figured that two lugs and wheels on backwards was fine for pushing it to the shop (nevermind that the shop might want to test drive it after its repaired).

good for a smile and if you have ever seriously wrenched on your car you wouldve had to pull some sort of ghetto mechanic work. no doubt.
