Why does it always take longer than I think it will???

[seedubs1 10+ year member]

Every time I go to do something, I assume I will be done in 2-3 hours or so. But every single time, I run into snags.

Was doing the big 3 in my Maxima today (pain in the ass cramped engine bay) and I snapped off the head of the bolt I was using to screw my batt-chasis terminal to the chasis.

Needless to say, it was the only really good ground spotto use:crap:

So I had to pull all of this **** off of another chasis location to use another ground location that wasn't nearly as easy to get to and use.

Probably took me an extra hour or so, and everything all together took me about 5 hours (ended up running my + wire to the trunk as well).

**** that bolt head:verymad:

So if any of you have any installing problems you want to ***** about, this thread is for that.

What a PITA /rant.
