My dad is the cranky old man at the transmission shop that has seen it all and should have retired 10 years ago. Every once in a while he sends me an entertaining photo. This one was, "The fluid looked like what's left over after a self cleaning oven is done."

He said it's a manual transmission from an early 2000s Mustang. Said it had a bearing welded to the case from getting so hot.

I see shit like that daily, so nothing is new to me. The things that shock me are the ridiculous ways people modify their cars while continuing to drive them.
These are two examples of the shit that I see often that don't phase me: 
These are some of the modded cars I see that make me question how these people are still alive. The hood on this Honda doesn't close at all and even the wind will fling it open while it's parked, but hey, at least the turn signals work.

I've blown up more than my share of transmissions/differentials/axles etc, but it wasn't due to lack of maintenance

Bought an old tahoe from a previous owner who liked screwed up fixes. This was a lowlight of many.

How did those pass safety inspection? The truck passes safety every year with an extra $50 and a safety inspector who doesn't care, I do the emissions test and it passes on it's own. IDK about the Honda, that guy came in for a valve cover gasket. |

My first job was in automotive testing, and that's still impressive. Did they tell him with any specificity how they managed to fuck that up to that degree?
