Shade tree mechanics--Beware!
#1
So I'm laying under the 7 undoing the oil drain plug when the lady next door comes over and says "Hey, can I have a look in your toolbox?" I'm like "Sure." Next thing I know she's pulling down my zipper with her teeth! Startled, I sat up quickly, or rather tried to sit up, and whacked my head on the bottom of the car. Dazed, I had no choice but to let her finish draining my fluids.
Discuss!

I've smacked my head under the car, but not in the same circumstance. I sneezed, whacked my cranium on the car, then reflexively pulled back and smacked my head on the concrete. My skull was like a pinball.

And then my alarm went off....

"I should already know the job was done properly as blood was drawn during the process, which I think is the creedo of the backyard mechanic. I have come to think of it as a small blood sacrifice to the Road Gods of Steel and Asphalt. Things just seem to work out better once a couple drops of the precious is mixed with oil while muttering a sincere oath in French."

I almost got a tear in my eye That was beautiful....lol Only in Richmond would **** like that happen! On the banging heads on cars note. When I was younger riding around in my dads REPU it would backfire like crazy. So one day we role up in a gas station to get gas and dad noticed a guy under the hood of his car, so dad revs the REPU and kills the engine that mother sounded like a cannon went off. Needless to say the guy under the hood of his car slams his cranium on the bottom side of his hood. Damn it was so funny I about pissed my self! Sorry to thread hijack!
