I have had two occasions where i screwed up.

Changed the pads on my brother's mustang for him and then took it on a test drive to realize that the car would barely stop. Came back and had no idea what went wrong. Took the car to the dealer and found out I had placed a brake pad backwards and messed up the new rotor and had to get new pads. My brother didn't care because he was borrowing my mustang at the time which was way faster than his...haha

Second was when i changed the brake pads on my mustang. I finished everything up and lowered the car and told my dad to finish tightening the lugs on one wheel while i clean up. Drove 200 miles to go back to college and kept hearing a squeak. Next day was about to jack up the car to check the pads and realized all my lugs were loose. Guess my dad was trying to kill me!!! haha
