I don't feel sorry for the idiot. Anyone with half a brain or at the very least common sense would know you never stick a sock in or near any part of the engine bay. If you loose the oil cap replace the damn thing. He should have also been worried about where the damn cap fell as well. This was truly a dumb move that will cost him a small fortune….

I'd bet money that this guy probably uses seran wrap when he's out of condoms. Wow. Simply wow.

I really wonder what he did to make the $$ to buy a $50k+ car.

It would not surprise me. What would be wholly ironic is if he was into engineering or something along those lines. Now that would be funny.

It's probably just someone who is young, and like stated above, thinks socks are good for EVERYTHING.

Still you got to wonder, off all the things that are lying around the average house, or even in the average persons car, a sock? Come on!

[fake] Nice one....

I thought sarin wrap works pretty well, isn't it recommended?[rofl]


Now since that guy never posted any followups and a member on that forum suggested it could "only happen to him" I think it might have been a troll (attention) post...

Martha Stewart's tip for the day: If you blow a fuse in your car, a penny works fine. Just make sure it is an older type made of solid copper - not the copper coated zinc one.

My friend actually did this and the dash on his dad's Dodge station wagon started smoking! I think he burned the insulation off the wire!

Some guy actually did this with a live bullet. The thing got hot and shot off one of his little buddies.

The guy got a Darwin Award for it, so it wasn't all bad.

Well well I looked at all replies and some of them are funny and some stink but please can we not give the guy some advise.
I would say take of the valve cover and try to take the pieces of sock out carefully, hopefully there is not damage to the cam and followers.
Guy the fellow is not the smartest light on the Xmas tree but he did ask for advice and I did not see any and is this forum not for helping this poor guy?
