oh I know the feeling, makes me wonder what the **** is wrong with me, and I STILL have a small turbo, lol
dumbest thing I ever did was back up hot and heavy in a parkinglot to make the tire spin because kids were hanging out on the other side of the lot and I wanted to look cool, I backed right into a pole, I was 18 at the time- dumbass.

Pulling the spark plugs off the bugeye sprite (while its running) to check if it was getting spark only to realize that the spark plug wires were not insulated. I kept getting shocked but could not drop the plug wire!! I felt like an idiot after that!

I got zapped from my MSD adjusting the timing once on my big block, I swear it was like someone smashed my arm with a hammer, then I jerked it back and smashed my elbow into the hood, you know that one spot on your elbow that you bump and it hurts for days

How did that go?
it hickuped like a drunk, but wouldn't catch. It smelled like tequila for awhile after too! Ahhhh, I miss that Benz. That car was funny, it would run great most of the time. Randomly, at really busy intersections, it would die when the light would turn green. Everybody would be honking as you'd frantically try to get her to re-start. LOL
