Checking a cigarette lighter, to see if it works, and doesn;t glow! Don't stick your finger in it!!! leaves a coil imprint on your finger. Ask my co-worker lol

Never let your dad try to hot wire a tractor while it is on the trailer and aimed at the car you are working on. Bumpers do have purpose but stoping runaway tractors shouldnt be one of them.

Telling your wife she looks real sexy tonight; When she says" you ain't gettin it" put your glasses on and say "Sorry. I thought I was talkin' to yer sister." Don't ask me how I know.

"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."

OMG, this one hits home with me.. I think the appropriate response is quickly removing your hand, shaking it vigorously, and saying as fast as you can without any spaces between the words "ouchsonofabitch"!!!

Priming an oil pump with a drill motor and hex attachment does generate substantial pressure in the system.

A leg bent at a 90 degree angle under a bumper of a '66 Coronet while using a crappy "hair trigger"
jack does not make a fun jackstand and that leg will also let ya know how heavy the car is.

Remember to replace those little plastic spacers at the bottom of a windshield before installing
as I've heard it might crack the glass and cause various other pieces of said car to get broken.

Acrylic primers tend not to like lacquer paints and vice versa. Makes for some nice runs and bubbling...

When spraying a car outside, never trust the weather, even if it looks clear. Fresh paint and a few
raindrops don't tend to mix well.

Wow. I guess you just gotta pick the right topic.

PrimerDust318, what the hell is a banana slug? Why would you lick one? After reading your responses to this post, how are you still alive to respond to this post?

moparhead, I think you're right- we're going to be seeing DAMHIK quite often around here. Don't ask me how I know.

Never ask an officer of the law if he/she gets paid extra for wearing their silly hat.

Never try to "pop" a steering wheel off with your two hands after removing the center bolt. This can cause the steering wheel to violently approach your face causing severe pain to your nose.

ROFLMAO

Man I can laugh with you cause I know EXACTLY how that feels. But dont ask me how I know............

Never use a wire in place of a fuse. Things melt and lights go dim and the alternator discharges. Don't ask...

Don't ask me how I know but...

...glass patio tables make lousy work benches for differentials.

...when cutting out floor boards, it is possible to slice through perfectly good brake lines underneath.

...a lift off hood with no retaining pins in place can actually completely clear the car and land in the road behind you at about 60 mph.

...hoods do not make graceful landings.

...towing a race car with slicks on a chain in the rain at 50 mph can produce a ballet of two car syncronized 360s.

...most two car syncronized 360s end with the cars slapping together.

Here's yer slug


Starting your car for the first time w/ fuel leak(unknown at the time) car catches fire you are in your car and cant figure out WHY you cant get out of your burning car and then you see that you door is locked. you get out run around in circles lookin for the extinguisher thats 3 feet away from said named vehicle

I saw this happen.... Don't play with a rebuilt magneto on a testicle high steel bench.

No matter how hard you push the brake pedal on the race car, it wont stop the truck, trailer, and race car from going down over a hill while the car is still on the trailer.
Don't ask me how I know

Do not install your distrubutor plug it in then turn rotate it into place while the key is on.
The terminals on those little bitty super high power MSD coils will still shock your azz after the car is turned off

Don't ask me how I know but, you should always check that you reinstalled the oil filter before you start your truck and give it a couple good revs to hear what open headers sound like!

Great thread, keep 'em coming!

When drilling holes in the floor pan to mount a B&M shifter you can use a long self tapper and mount it solidly into the gearbox tailshaft.....
