I have several of these stories but let's see how the thread goes.
A quick one: Years ago I used to do a lot of HPDE stuff with the SCCA. As you might imagine there were quite a few Mustangs out there. One guy who had been doing this for a few years was upgrading his entire suspension, going from the factory GT stuff to full coil overs and competition sway bars. This young guy heard this and made a deal to buy the take off sway bars. He showed up at the next even all excited because he got the new bars mounted on his car. I noticed people looking at his car and some were rolling their eyes and some were laughing. Curiousity got the best of me so I went over to take a peak. I bend down and see that he "mounted" the other bars by zip-tying them to the factory bar.
He didn't pass tech.
