You are painting your car in a garage at night to avoid the heat of the day, just after you have laid down 4 coats of really slick clear coat, do not let your brother open the garage door to let out the paint fumes, because bugs as big as birds will be attracted to the light reflection in your new shiny clear coat and be there forever.
Don't ask me how I know.

Nope but it was funny how we responded back to back. Your entry made me laugh. My wife asked what was so funny. I told he and got the old wife eye roll. I guess guys have a different sense of humor than women.


Ok

I am as safety unconscious as the next guy , so when I went to move the leaf springs in and mini tub , I took the gas tank out before hand..............clean forgot about the 1/2" line filled with 110 octane hanging there until I was under the car grinding and saw the strangest orange flickering light from behind me.
The blaze was being drip fed as I stumbled around wondering where I left the extinguisher.
Finally beat the fire out with a moving blanket , at the expense of most of my arm hair.
These days , if you ask me where the extinguisher is , I'll ask which one and know where the all are. lol

I was helping a buddy of mine troubleshoot his MSD. He was holding the coil wire to the frame while I tapped the white wire. It sparked and startled him causing him to jerk the coil wire as I tapped the white wire a couple more times. For some reason he won't let me help with electrical stuff anymore.

If you tow your car on a goose neck trailer make sure the hitch is secured on the ball before attempting to load the car.

Don't ask me how I know!

When unloading the race car at the track from your open car trailer make sure that the ramps are down. If you pull the car out of gear and then get distracted it will roll back off of the trailer and come to a sliding stop the on the ladder bars. A slight incline will make this happen without any effort. Also try to do it in front of as many people as possible so when you are done laughing they can help you lift the car back on to the trailer because a jack will not have enough reach to do anything. The best part of this method is that if you do it exactly like I did you will at least go to the final round that day. DAMHIKT

When under the car, with your head under the trans and you have just dropped the valve body, do not let curiosity get the best of you and push on the accumulator piston.

Also...after driving up on your trailer (that is slightly uphill at the track) DO NOT get distracted by talking about the .002 loss and MAKE SURE you put in park before getting out.

I use to work with a guy that took the drive shaft out of his mustang and it rolled off the ramps and split his head open when it ran over him. He got several stitches in his head. He thought it would not roll since it was in park.

If you use a carb bell to seal your carb to your hood scoop, make sure you remove the hood scoop plug before you attempt your burnout.

5000 rpm Will make enough of a vacuum to make your scoop collapse like a large blueberry souffle falling in the oven. shock

If you start your car that's been sitting for awhile, do not put it in reverse and set the parking brake while you get out to do something else. DAMHIK

Take the hood off the roof of the car before testing the stall of the new torque converter, or moving the car in the trailer. I guess I didn't learn the first time?

My Dad was on the rescue squad for many years in the little town I am from. one of his favorites was:

Local racer put 2X6's on cement blocks and drove the front end of his big block Challenger up on them and put it in Park. He then proceeded to pull the trans pan and pull the valve body out. Car rolled down and the driver's side header went down on his chest. Only thing that saved his life was he had the torsion bars cranked up 4wd high.
