Penny-wise, pound-foolish

[Martin W. N. Suryadarma]

Anybody ever done a stupid mistake on their Audi? I know I did. Broke fuel
line while changing fuel filter. Car's in my mechanic's shop now. He said
he's never seen a fuel line broken before. When I asked how long he thinks
it's gonna take to replace, he said not sure but definitely a lot longer
than it would take to change the fuel filter. DOH.

I feel like an idiot.

Wasted 1/2 of the Thxgiving weekend trying to fix this with rubber
fuel-line, but the thing still leaks because of the super pressure in 
there. Looked under the car and didn't think I could replace the line by
myself because of its complicated position inside the engine bay and under
the car. Luckily that thing doesn't go all the way back to the gas tank.

Did I mention I feel like an idiot?

Sorry, just feel like ranting.
