AHHHH....lost my wedding ring!

I was under the hood of the Evo and squeezing my hand out of a tight spot when the damn thing came off...It's behind the engine somewhere, didn't see where it fell. It aint on the ground and now I'm gonna have to tear this thing apart lookin for it. I don't dare start it or move the car cuz it might make it worse. Can't tell the wifey who is in the house cuz she already gripes about me spendin too much time on the car...this is just more ammunition for her...LOL! Anyway...jus thought I'd share my dilemma with ya...

Crap....

Jack up the car and take off the gaurd. Or get one of those long mirrors and magnet tool and keep searching. I've lost a lot of stuff in my engine bay, but nothing like this. Good luck man.

Most of the time, things dropped in the engine bay will end up on the undertray. Try there. Take it off if needed.

TODAY'S LESSON BOYS AND GIRLS: Never ever wear your wedding ring...you never know when you might lose it, so why chance it and just never wear it!
