Hydraulic lock due to about one quart of fuel in each cylinder is not only a reality, but a definite possibility with any carb design regardless of brand. The trick is to have at least a 100gph electric pump, and make sure the float sticks. Voila.
There must be coolant in the system before the gauge will read anything but dead cold. The car appears to never warm up. It must need a thermostat, eh? Uh, nooo...
904 converter snouts rotinely just shear right off with no warning 50 miles from home, yet at the same time they are the greatest transmission in the world and everybody should have one.
3 grenaded 904 transmissions over 5 years in the same car does a great job of rustproofing the trans tunnel, but doesn't stop the frame from rusting out and breaking.

A sure grip, a V8, rain, and a A body will tend to do a abrupt u turn with very little warning.......
Knocking off the extra blade of the fan on your Jeep after it loses one to rebalance it is a bad idea.....
If the tree your trying to winch yourself out with is small It will move before your Power Wagon will with interesting results.....
Losing the carb return spring at an intesection can really do a good job of killing mosquitoes and tends to attract any nearby sherrifs......
Trying to reinstall your wiper arm with a hammer is a really bad idea.....
Life's a little bit better when you hit a Camaro.

If you don't put a bowling ball into a bowling ball bag before you put it in the trunk it will roll from side to side with every turn and dent you trunk from the inside out (at least that's what I heard).
buying a set of 3.91s and driving home with them in the trunk can result in dented quarter panel.
pulling the fuel sender out of a 57 ford pick up then using a match for a light to see if you have enough gas to go cruising will result in a blow torch effect inside the cab!
getting a closer look at the green stain on one of the ribs of a "fit all" radiator hose isnt a very good idea, especially if the car is at 210 degrees, your not wearing safty glasses and you have your face 6 inches away from green stain. and never never trist the hose to see if its acually a coolant leak! . that might hurt very badly for several days!
never "feel" your brake rotor for scratches through the holes in your wheel with your finger right after going down a steep hill in stop and go traffic.

22 year old heater hoses disentigrate from the inside out, thereby breaking open at the outlet on the engine, at the time where you dont have water. Said hoses will also clog up your outlets bigtime.
If you have any loose skin from bending your hand, keep it away from the release handle on your vice-grips. Hurts like H*ll when it gets pinched!
Dont sit on a fender and proceed to take your head out from under the hood unless you're hanging onto the lip of the hood.
When the eye of your Neg Battery cable burns out and fails, its gonna do it at the least conveniant time (liek when you have Ice-cream)
Manual transmissions and hills are good things, especially if your starter or said negative battery cable eye burns out.
Ok, thats just a few!

An injector assembly machine, will finish a cycle, No matter if it errors out and an engineer tells you it will not run again, until you hit the start button

The horozonal boring machine will NOT stop by wraping your body around the spindle! No not me. A guy at work a few years ago.
You can not stop a drill press spindle by grabbing the big DRILL in the chuck. Another guy at work about the same time.
