so, how badly have you gotten hurt working on cars

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

we have a saying.....The job is not done until Bob gets hurt/bleeds.

Usually it's just a few nicks or cuts, a few stitches very once in a awhile.

it's sorta like a offering to the car gods

Saj3ns heat shield on the gas tank cut the **** ouf of the knuckle on my index finger to the point where I almost threw up. About 10 minutes after that injury it cut the **** out of my other hand on the side of my first knuckle on the index finger - I almost threw up again. *shiver*

Runner up is when i had my car on the lift and was fully bent over getting bolts fromt he floor, stood up at full typical speed and hit the back of my head on the lift arm - again, almost throwing up. My friends were laughing as I spit up outside... yay for neural damage.

Cheatin' Death Every Weekend Keeps Me ALIVE and I live more at 2-3 min at WIDE Open Throttle than most of you do in a month and some of you really PC folks in a LIFE TIME!

shattered glasses from impact sockets flying off under a car in a confined area, batteries blowing up in your face, burns just like you got today, and then about once a month i singe the hair off of one of my hands with the torch and then i notice all the old scars that i've accumulated...

****ing radiator on a e36 blew up and roasted my arm today, i may yet keep the skin but the day ain't over yet, 7-8 years ago while crushing cars at the yard i slipped fell and put my arm through the windshield of a porsche up to the shoulder, only 20-30 stiches and didn't loose anything coulda been worse. radiator blew up on a buddy and shot him in the crotch (that would suck on so many different levels), had another buddy that was doing a strut job with those shitty threaded rod compressors that launched a spring into his crotch (i saw that one happen) the older guy i work with had a battery blow up on him and got his arm pretty good

how bout ya'll

That is actually sort of scary. Bill--do you have fingers?

[Bill R.]

50 wpm if needed, just plenty of scars... something Winfred has to look forward to in another 20 years unfortunately.

Not as badly as not working on them. I got overcharged by about $300 for the thrust arms+ bushings i had put on this week...I'd rather have slipped and slammed my knuckles into the wheel hub forcing a frozen bolt than be some parts guys bitch.To make it worse, the reason i OK'ed the high quote was i wanted the job done thne on Tuesday to go camping up state this weekened becasue at that time the Weather was forecast to be great and its now a washout so i had no reason to take the parts at that price . I could have said no, gotten the car back and got the arms myself then had him put them in.I just never invisioned him charging me $550 .oo for the parts. Still smarts, ouch..

ahhh the old 20/20 hindsight....... sorry about that
