OOPS! EF content
I am sure some have you have seen this but some have not. I am sure it will be totaled so maybe someone out there has a shell or something for cheap.
Well after a day of working at the shop... I decided to roll by Brians and see what he was doing. As I pulled up and saw his garage door was open. His truck was in there ... and he was under it working away. I pulled behind his car and then walked up his kinda steep driveway into the garage. He was replacing the U joints so I grabbed a rag and headed to my car to check my oil. Just as I got tot he car i hear this gut wrenching scream kinda calling my name. I turned around to see his truck quietly hauling *** down the driveway at me at about 15 mph... and picking up speed real damn quick!. I jumped out of the way just in time to watch this....
Pushed my car about 6 feet
Well... it took me a second to realize that Brian was still under the truck when it happened. Let me the first to point out that if he did not warn me... I would have been dead.
He was under the truck and as it rolled forward. He had disconnected the drive shaft and that is what let it loose. Brian is normally real damn good about putting a stop under the tire. Just slipped his mind this time. He was holding his hand and it all looked pretty bad. The truck had started rolling and he managed to tuck in his legs.... his hand was squished between his chest and the rear diff. So we rolled out to the hospital . He was ok.. just his hand was pretty tore up and we both needed a change of underwear.
Brotha Brian and his woman
me... real mad... but not at Brian. Just that it happened
And after all that... still homies
Please do not respond with any remarks about him not using stops... like I said before... he usually does... ALL THE TIME. Make no mistake... if this was a habit of his I would have not even parked there. I would gladly wrench next to him still to this day.... any day of the week!
So... it is gonna suck, cause I know his insurance will not give me crap for my car. I will prob buy it back since it has the motor and other parts on. One thing that does suck.... my turbo manifold just came in today
Again please do not respond with anything regarding how it could have been prevented ect ect. Him and I both already know. But if you got any info regarding the car ect... please post
Again if you have any info on something else car wise or anything to help please let me know. If anyone thinks this is fixable... let me know

Me and my friend were lowering my 240sx and we thought we had the tension out of the spring so we undid the nut and the spring shot out and hit my buddy in the shin.
I was thinking it broke his leg or something but he just sat there with a kinda dumbfounded look.
Looking back it was stupid but funnay as hell.

Re: (.No_Honda.)
Yeah we have been kinda laughing about it now. I feel I am being cool about it. ANd he has been stand up about it. Weird though...
1. That is the first time I parked in front of the garage.....and the last I might add
2. I was there maybe 2 minutes before it happened..... maybe I should have driven slower on the way there
3. This is also the first time I have ever seen Brian not use stops.... and hopefully the last
4. If my car was not there his truck would have went into a garage across the street that is housing a new boat.
