What stupid mistake have you made today?

My NSS is activated by hydraulic pressure in the line between the master cylinder and hydraulic throwout bearing. No pressure, no start.

jacked the right side up using the floor jack, put the stand under the car, finished the work, jacked the car up to remove the stand, wasn't looking where I moved the stand to. I lowered the floor jack and the stand was under the cut out where the header exits the side of the car. took out the piece under the header, no damage to the header. pissed me off

How stupid is this.....changing brake pads late at night then up early next morning, driving down the road slowly (dirt road) to the intersection, then accelerating up to speed (sealed road), and then about two miles from home, braking (first brake application) for the junction, and pedal goes straight to the floor!! Mad pumping to move all the pistons, and then the brakes come on with a vengeance. I stopped in time (just). Big lesson learnt.
Cheers,
Glen

I imagine that elevated your pulse rate and created a sanitary issue. At least I didn't know what was happening immediately so I didn't have enough sense to panic.
