'We eventually found out what Grandpa Kevin had done': Grandfather tries to bond with grandchild, accidentally ruins car's entire brake system

In the same way you can't eat at just anyone's home, you can't let just anyone fix up your car. That's the lesson u/Muchacho1994 learned after letting their grandfather check out their 2005 Chevy Malibu. 

Spending time with devoted grandparents is the best. They just want to spoil their grandkiddies with presents and food and hugs. It's easy when your grandkids are very young and eager to play with their grandparents. As the kids get older, you have to find new things to bond over, such as a new car. 

This grandpa, nickednamed "Grandpa Kevin," was determined to pass on his knowledge of cars to his grandkid. They made a pilgrimage to Walmart together to buy power steering fluid, and then spent time together testing the car. Although it's a story about just how goofy Grandpa Kevin acted, it's also just a nice story of a grandfather who just wants to spend quality time with his grandkid. And, as you'll see after reading the story below, commenters added a few tips for the OP's grandfather to improve his car-fixing skills in the future. 

Check out the entire story below. Then, check out these memes for the workers of the world, especially those who are grinding hard to advance their careers.
