I put it into gear and it dies.

You cannot break it if it's broken But you can fix it so it cannot be fixed.

YOU STOLE MY THING!!! LOL

I've "fixed" a few things. That was coined "sometime in the 70's". A then friend had a Ford carb spacer with a PVC fitting into the rear of the spacer which he'd broke off. There as JUST enough room to re-drill and tap it for 1/8 pipe. I put it in the vise and said, "I sure hope I don't break it."

He says "****!! It's already broken!! You can't break it more!!"

I told him, "maybe but I could fix it so it can't be fixed"
