Message	Mine are documented in a similar thread years ago: 1. I never would work on auto transmission cars when I used to do Z work in the garage for others. The one I thought I would be nice and work on because I liked the owner, while removing the transmission it slipped off the ATF coated trans jack and fell on my chest, pinning me to the ground until the owner just happened to drop by. Oh, and my girlfriend now wife was in the bathtub and didn't hear me yelling for her... I still give her grief over that. 2. Put all the stuff back on a TT engine and realized I forgot to put the oil filter tree on. *points fingers like a gun at head and pulls the trigger* 3. While gutting precats, the one time I go under the car w/o safety glasses is when a sliver of cat ceramic decides it's new home will be my cornea. I fight through the rest of the job just thinking I got some gunk in my eye, but it wouldn't wash out. Went to the ER. Their eyeball fixing machine was broken so the doc told me to stare at that dot on the wall and DON'T F'IN MOVE YOUR EYE... I'm going to dig it out with a syringe! Yeah, I've never sat so still in my life and am now undefeatable at staring contests. There are others, but those are the top 3 that I can think of. Later When was the last time you *really* did something with your Z to call yourself a Z enthusiast? Member #1 PETZ
