Default a friend and his civic (funny)

ok..so the other day my friend is putting a new distriputor cap on his car.....as he was taking it off...he broke off the nut and got part of it stuck in the hole....so he tapped it out and put the new one on...but as he was tightening it on....he broke that nut too....so now he has a civic that is getting a might 5 mpg w/ major knocking...i think the timing is off by 30 degrees...its really funny cause he was flipping out after he did that.....but now he can get a new engine....just thought i would share that
