Protege5: Harder, not Smarter!

actually the back of a 85 fleetwood...because lowrider 0.o
And these are the words of which I will live my life
CNC machine full assembled, electronics hooked up I plugged it into the computer, flipped on the motherboard powered via the USB cable, fired up fine, I installed the arduino drivers fine and gcode parameters installed correctly. Now, when this all started I said I would post it all up here, the accidents and retarded moments included. Here you get a very fine example on how to not do something.
Maybe some of the more observant will take a look at the above picture and see what is wrong...or maybe you didn't give it a second thought like me. Good for you if you noticed.
I plugged in the main power for the boards and motors and there was a loud popping and a massive fireball erupted from the boards nearly incinerating my eyebrows. Yes...if you look above I hadn't built a box to house the electronics in yet so I had just set them on top of my coke can...
Here is the burned remnants of my stepper driver chips, 12$ each...ouch. The capacitors on the motherboard also exploded on the other boards. In total I managed to incinerate about 90$ of electronics in under a second. Way to go idiot!
The "new" transmission...10 bonus points to anyone for guessing the model. (Cres not included)
Dropped the front subframe off the car, jokingly I have tried lifting my car with my hands on occasion...too my utter surprise I can hold the entire front end with a single hand right now. Pretty neat.
Example of how to not do something #2:
This is what happens if you take a 50 pound sledgehammer and drive a screwdriver through a windshield.
This is where not to blow your windshield into 47 billion particles of pain and misery. Yes I counted.
long story short: spent 5 hours carefully cutting the windshield seal, on the last corner it cracked...I tried to knock windshield out with hammer...windshield explodes into 47 billion bits inside garage.
idiot spends 2 hours on hands and knees vacuuming "most" of the glass up.
4 years down the road: idiot finally cleans the last of the glass explosion up.
Morals of the pictures: don't use coke cans for insulators and don't use a sledgehammer to smash a windshield inside your garage.

^ He would still be missing ALOT of parts for that if so.
I assumed he was just showing the housing. The reason I guessed so is; I know he wanted to use the stock motor, that trans would mount to the motor, I know that trans won't work on a stock P5 due to the Drive shaft tunnel differences on the under body (which wouldn't be an issue with him)...
Nope

I'm confused, is this the smarter part, or the harder part? (boom07)
The dumber part.
