Some of us are confident enough in our abilities that we go it alone on a car. Be it routine maintenance or a project, sometimes it’s that simple. Other times, we may overstep ourselves. Be it pride or determination, sometimes we won’t even consider help even when we clearly need it.

We asked readers about those times when they bit off more than they could chew. These were their answers.

Welcome back to Answers of the Day, our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best 10 responses from the previous Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It’s by you and for you, Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
