My car bit me! Can you believe that? After everything I've done for her!

My finger throbs with every beat of my over sized heart but I don't feel that a broken nail and an entirely missing finger print merits a trip to the hospital.

On my first car, I was 16 and wanted to tuck my bumpers. As I drilled through the first shock, oil came shooting out. I was surprised and figured I'd do the next one with my eyes closed and head turned.

I kept drilling and drilling and nothing happened. So I turned and looked right where I was drilling. As I lift the drill, guess what? that shit explodes with molten metal shavings and super fucking old oil shot right in both eyes. Lost my vision for about 3 days.

I had a 1992 ford pickup. Front wheel was flat so I broke out the jack and lifted her up. Too bad I was on dirt. Luckily my dad was watching me the whole time because he thought the whole thing was sketch. The jack slipped right as I crotche down and lifted the wheel off. My dad's reaction time was so insane, he grabbed my shirt and flew me backward right as the truck came down on my steel toe. Landed on my back and head with a heavy ass wheel on my chest. Thanks dad!

My last injury was my worst. 4 years ago I was working on my zinno 325. I just filled the rad with water so I could bleed the system. I started the car and went in the house to let it warm up for 5min. I fell asleep due to the fact that it's the next day and I've yet to have any rest since starting the project. I wake up about 30min later and run out to the car. She's steaming bad so I cut her off. My temp gauge never worked before but this time it read 1/4 so i'm thinking, I'll just open the cap and let it vet. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!

I take the top off and steam and rusty hot lava water blow all over my arm causing my skin to shrink wrap all around. Some gets me in the face but mostly my arm was melted. I walk into the house shocked as hell. Nothing hurts yet. I show my dad and he said hurry and put it on ice before I feel it and he'll rush me to the ER. I calmly walk to the fridge and just as I reach for the door my first and second layer of skin fall off.

I turn into a bitch and speed to the emergency room. Took three shots of cocaine in my ass for me to calm down and stop crying. Docs sugested I go into immediate sugery of face permenant skin damage. I didn't have insurance so I told em fuck it.

Lived on vicodin for a week. Did some kidney and liver damage. Shit ruined my life.

I can picture this like the scene in District 9 when Wikus gets the alien equivalent of DB shock fluid in his face.

Some noobies mistakes that is. You paid the price my friend. Sucks to suck.

Had a flat on the e30. Stupid pinch weld jack fell over while I was taking the wheel was off. Lucky got both my legs out before they got chopped off. Hood has jabbed my in the back several times. Thats about it...

Some good ones in here.

When I did my suspension a few months ago I managed to crush my left hand with a 5 pound dead blow 3 times while pounding in axle lock plates. Kept working for 5+ hours afterwards.

The next day:
Half my hand swelled up and turned purple, couldn't move my index finger for 2 days. Went to the doctor, he says "oh man that looks painful!" And takes xrays. You could see the bruise on the side of the bone clear as day, took almost 2 months for the bone to go back to normal.


No injuries but when I was changing front wheel bearings on my Dakota... The right side nut wouldn't come off so we had to use a 6' pipe on a 3/4 drive breaker bar. Ended up lifting the truck off the stand about 3", when the nut broke loose the truck fell so hard it deformed the stand and shot it out from under the truck. It left a hole in the drywall and the truck took a chunk out of the garage floor. Glad we were off to the side.
