Default working on my car, car parts try to kill me....

i was installing something on a car (which was on jack stands) when a seat rail explodes (dont ask how) and slices my wrist open! I was very fortunate it did not hit my artery otherwise it would have been all over....

and its going to scar pretty bad. Oh well, when people see my wrists from now on they will assume i tried suicide.

damn it i feel like my car is out to get me

I was putting brakes on my friends car ('93 LS) and loosing the caliper bolt behind the rotor. I wasn't thinking and it loosened alright... so much so my entire face went into the dust shield, and I got a beautiful 1" cut and bruise across my chin... I was pissed... I hate when I do dumb stuff like that...

Sucks about the slider blowing up. I've never heard of that before... Mabye you're just doin too many chicks in your car and wore the slideer out!!! Or maybe you have a fat can...

Mulan would never do such a thing to me, we have a good relationship.

-Tommy who named his ITR Mulan when he first bought it cause it came with a MUgen exhaust.

I was loosening an exhaust bolt once, after I got all of them off the pipe still wouldn't come off so I started tugging and I tugged it right into my front tooth, took out a good piece too.

Being attacked by your car blows.

I'll never work on my car without a shirt again after one incident that nearly cost me my left nipple.

I was under my old car ('74 Karmann Ghia) on a crawler, not watching where I was going and caught my nip on a bracket that holds the e-brake cable. Sliced it right through the middle and took a small chunk out.

Man, that f'ing hurt.
