one of the many stupid things i've ever done but the funniest in my mind is, a sweaty forehead is not a good thing to try to hold down a drill press arm so you can clamp something down centered. Drill press wins my eyebrow split

I was the last kid lying down in a line of six that my friend attempted to jump on his bike when I was ten. It's really hard to catch your breath when someone slams into your chest from about three feet in the air. A lot of force went into my ribcage from that little contact patch. I'm surprised I survived.

Inveited a friend over after school and thought it would be cool if i cooked some french fries for us to eat. waiting for the oil to boil on the top burner i went outside to play with my dogs for a few miutes. When I came back inside there was a fire and smoke everywere, I panicked and reached for one of those squirter, built into the sink and sprayed the fire with water. Do my surprise it just flared up. Then I really panicked I grabed the pot of fire with my hands and got burned so i took my shirt off wrapped it around my hands and began to run outside with it. Every so many feet boiling oil would splatter on me and I would put the pot down temporaily. Besides melting off all the knobs on the oven above and turing the ceiling black I burned a cirlce in the counter top(also burning cabnets above black), and at 2 places in the linoleum floor. I made it outside and dumped the oil in the driveway (luckily the flames went out right away) I had scars on my arms for the next 2-3 years

Bought a used Taurus.

No, wait, that's the second most stupid thing I've ever done. The first was driving my old Challenger around the block without first securing its lift-off glass hood. I was only doing 20 mph, not enough to float a hood, right? Wrong! That hood came up, over, and landed flat on the road behind the car. Nobody saw me, thank God. But that was long ago, I can talk about it now...

Listening to a LT. in the Army about how deep a ditch was at night. He had the night vision goggles and I told him it was too steep from what I could see without them. He told me to go ahead. Let's just say he had to climb out my side of the Hummer to get out and have a howitzer pull up back over so we could keep going. Only time I got a Hummer stuck.

1989....Frozen bolts holding fuel pump on a 305 Chevy that I was getting ready for a Demo Derby.
Figured a little heat would be good. As soon as that torch touched off the gas in the pump, BOOM!. Buckled the valve covers and crapped my pants.

(God, there's just to many to list... )

....driving my old Challenger around the block without first securing its lift-off glass hood. I was only doing 20 mph, not enough to float a hood, right? Wrong! That hood came up, over, and landed flat on the road behind the car.




A steel hood requires about 50 mph to fly off, but will completely clear the car when it does....don't ask me how I know.

A few months ago, I was working on my '65 Belvedere project and decided to roll the car out of the garage to tear out the headliner and insulation, a messy job.

The car had no rear end in it at the time so I picked up the rear with a piece of steel channel, some blocks of wood and a floor jack. I then began rolling the car out.

About halfway out, I got carried away and pulled the jack out from under my steel and wood supports. The car hit the ground hard but the floor jack was still all the way up. This made a really neat looking "volcano" feature in the center of the trunk floor.

I then decided to fix the damage, so I got a sledge hammer and more blocks of wood and beat the "volcano" down. When I tried to close the trunk, however, the rear panel had moved due volcano induced tectonic forces.

So I moved my sledge and block work to the rear panel. After a few dozen hammer blows, I noticed the bits of plastic by my feet. That is when I realized the reverse lights and license plate lights had still been in the panel.

At that point, I quit for the day, figuring ruining the trunk floor, rear panel, reverse lights and license plate lights was enough for one day. In fact, I was so ticked, I called my paint and body guy and sent the car away for new paint so I would not have to see it for a while.

The car and I are both much better now.
