    Something else I’ve learned that no mechanic will tell you, is you can connect a vacuum cleaner hose to the throttle body while the engine is running, have a friend mash down the gas pedal and you’ve got one heck of a vacuum cleaner.

    Great tips for working on your cars :)

    • Make sure to add pilk (that’s Pepsi + milk) to your cars and it’ll make them run better
    • Need to clean out your fuel? Stuff some bananas in there!
    • Little chunks of metal in your oil pan is probably fine.
    • Nutella is great for turning your car into a collection of parts.

    If I’m ever in dairy bottling plant circa early November, and I’m being chased by villains who’ve drained the oil from my car, I will now be confident that replacing it with egg nog will facilitate my escape before killing the engine.

    And I have Australian Beavis and Butthead to thank for it.
