    I'm looking for some of the best auto related sayings or mantra's.
    Example:
    You can't polish a turd

    If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

    A man's home is his castle, but his garage is his sanctuary

    No matter how cheap you buy something, your father in-law can always find it cheaper.

    Stuff like that. Any Ideas?

    In the full size Jeep cult, we have a saying:

    If it moves and it shouldn't use duct tape
    If it doesn't move and it should , spray it with WD 40

    Nothing shouts shoddy workmanship like a wrinkle in duct tape

    When I was in the way, my dad used to say, "You just hold the tail, I'm the one F#cking this cow"

    And he had these letters drawn on almost everything in the garage.
