Injuries acquired from removing the shift knob

But seriously, there has been so many times where I've done the same thing. About a second before it happens you say to yourself "hmmm, I could probably hurt myself doing it this way.."

Worst one was when I was 20 and my '66 Nova had this bad habit of snapping off wheel studs on launch. Well, I decided I was going to change them in the parking lot of my work at the time (Schucks) and figured the scissor jack was "good enough." After about the third yank of the rear wheel I said to myself "What happens if this falls of the jack, it will probably crush my hand."

Sure as sh*t - the car rolled forward with my hand on the top of the tire. So then my hand was pinched between the fender and the top of the tire. Didn't break any bones but completely flattened all my fingers right down to the bone. Still don't know how I lifted the car off my hand that day..

Yesterday I got lazy and instead of sitting in the drivers seat and then removing the shift knob, I leaned in the window and just yanked it. Punched myself right in the cheekbone and gave myself a black eye. A friend commented on my fb that he once broke his nose doing that, another said a dealership tech shattered a windshield and broke the rear view mirror. So what else does r3v have?



It's not bad, but it's there. Lol.
