Garagebo effect

The perception that the performance of a vehicle has improved as the result of maintenance work at a garage that likely made no impact on the vehicle's actual functioning.

Most commonly experienced by people who have just paid for a questionable procedure a mechanic insisted was important and really want to believe that: a) the procedure was actually done; and b) it significantly helped the vehicle's performance.

Jon: Dude, that $1000 for a changing out my cabin filter and flushing my transmission was SO worth it! My Hyundai has never been this powerful...I could totally take a BMW off the line right now!!

Cameron: Really? Come on man, this is a classic case of the Garagebo effect! They probably waved a wrench over your crappy car and then gave it back to you and now you think you are Vin Diesel in Fast Five!

garage shop

To find the cheapest way to do something. Ignoring quality at all cost. Trying to make something from scrap either in your own pile or anywhere you can find it just as long as it didn't cost anything or basically as little as possible. Someone much more concerned about cost rather than quality, especially at work when it isn't even his money. When a person makes something cheap and then brags like it's the same quality as something made with all the best. Absolutely under no circumstances ever make something the best even if it's half the normal cost it's still too expensive.

Hey man do you like this fence I made? I got all of the wood in the scrap pile behind Home Depot so I just paid for the nails. Buddy says yeah man it's totally garage shop.

Hey T can you design a tool to help remove these from the machine so the operator won't get hurt? Yeah sure boss you want that garage shop? Boss: Yeah I don't want it to cost too much.

garage scientist

This is someone that can be described by one of the following terms: amateur scientist, basement scientist, backyard scientist, citizen scientist, do-it-yourself scientist (DIY scientist), hobby scientist, non-degreed scientist, self-educated scientist, self-taught scientist, kid scientist, or student scientist. This is someone who performs scientific experiments in their garage, basement or backyard, done as a student or as a hobby. This is in contrast to a professional scientist or expert with an actual degree in the scientific field in question, particularly those who engage in scientific research as part of their job and particularly those who experiment in a laboratory or other controlled environment.

“I worry about the garage scientist, about the do-your-own scientist, about the person who just wants to try and see if they can do it.”
