Recipe for a bad day:
One (1) tragically ignored and subsequently destroyed brake system ($400)

Recipe for a hilarious day:
One (1) phone call from mechanic who originally said it would be until tomorrow for car to get fixed only to have him call twenty minutes after we rented a car, a four hour process, to say that he fixed it and we could pick it up today after all
