Gym shorts, likely sandals, and a garden hose = 63% of r3v when doing work.

Adjective
Strange; odd: "she had a queer feeling that they were being watched".

Id say the word queer in this case is well phrased!

Hypersensitive?

The first time he tried to fire it you could tell something was wrong. What kind of motor is that? Ugly motor in a queer car.

Likely a Ford 302, carb'd because dumb young kids can't read wiring diagrams.

I watched the video, laughed at the stupidity, then felt bad for the kid when I saw the damage it did to his hand. I donated $5 to his donation thing

My name is shawn prince and i am 23 years old. I was/am building a Mazda miata drift car powered by a small block Chevy 350. I was super excited to start it.... I could not start with exhaust manifolds because they would not fit. I have to make my own.... But aside from that, I mounted in the car, via modified subframe and hooked a hoist on the rear to keep the engine level.... I hooked up all the fuel lines and gave it a go.... Resulted in a horrendous fire where I got 1st and 2nd degree burns all over my left arm and leg...the reason for the fire is ignition timing was off and fuel pressure at the regulator was too high.... I killed fuel and spark and I kept turning the engine over so it would suck the fire back into the engine therefore extinguishing the fire but that didn't work and I did not have a fire extinguisher so I grabbed the hose....I do not have insurance with my employer so that is why I am creating this.... to help me pay the burn clinic to treat me for my misfortune and for the time I am missing at my job to make money so I can live.Any donations are more than welcome and much appreciated. Thank you.

Why was he Trina start the motor?

It always amazes me how little time it takes to get burns bad enough that you need to be in the hospital or need long term care. It seem just a second or two will do it. I feel bad for the guy....but...

I do not have insurance with my employer so that is why I am creating this.... to help me pay the burn clinic to treat me for my misfortune and for the time I am missing at my job

His "misfortune" - that's not the word I would choose. Good luck with that.

[Exodus_2pt0]

^ A few if his coworkers commented on the video last night. Apparently his employer offer's free health insurance, he just never signed up.

Not to mention, it helps to make money if you monetize your viral video, which he didn't do.

sooo... is it possible for this guy to now get time off work... paid ? 'murica?
