So my car broke a good friend tonight

[Tbird_guy]

pulling the motor out of the bird for a rebuild and some much needed upgrades, and as we are hoisting the motor out...my friend hits the boom lever on the hoist, causing the motor to crush his wrist against the radiator support, the hoist wasn't jacking up. so after thirty seconds of trying to jack the motor off his wrist and freaking out, I got an adrenaline rush and lifted the motor off his hand...I know it wasn't my fault, but damn I feel bad about it.


BTW, it did actually break his wrist, he goes in for surgery in the morning... :( :( :(

That sucks.

I don't know if you've met my friend Harrison, but we were inside the garage working on my friends 240. Harrison was outback on the porch changing the rear end in his AE86, without the front tires calked. The car rolled forward pinning his wrist in between the jack-stand and rear end snapping it. From inside the garage we hear screaming and run out side to find the rear end of the entire corolla (no tires were on the back) sitting on Harrisons chest. We literally lifted the car off him, and I drove him to the hospital later.

ya he hit the lever with his back causeing the boom and motor to slide forward, that made the whole hoist roll into the front of the car which in turn lifted the lever for the jack and rendered it useless...he is alright the rest the bones this mornin

[Stormhammer]

i have an ugly one on my hand from cutting on my 1972 Dodge Charger... plasma cutter was cutting hot metal... my right hand slipped and hit that metal edge... beautiful too, cause it severed a vein ( or artery or whatever you want to call it )

[speedminded]

thats why i leave the works to the professionals ..What makes you a professional is remaining calm in those situations, things are gonna happen no matter how good you are or how long you've been doing it...i couldn't even begin to tell you the stuff i've seen from living on a farm for 15 years and working on cars for even longer.

[Kelly_Rene]

ouchys i hope he gets better soon.

[speedminded]

hm, seen people workin on sheeps or cows? :D lol jklol, nooo sheep and definitely not "workin" on them like that....but nothing funny about having your arm elbow deep in cow checking to see if it's prolapsing, or cutting off a baby bulls junk to make him a steer...or how about dehorning a cow and before you can sear it blood is spraying 15 feet and it's shaking it's head around and screaming. Then once you do get it seared the smell of burning flesh, blood, and hair is just nasty. wow, just a little off topic...on that note, i'm going to lunch :)

from now on.. i should call you Speedminded.. the cow rapist

[speedminded]

nooo, i never did it...!!! Thats what vets get paid to do and they wear the arm length gloves for that shit. no way i could do it...i mean, i can take care of a sick animal but then you go home and eat a steak? There's a point where what is the point of saving a cows life if you're just gonna go home and eat another cow? Doesn't make alot of sense to me...

[ss_impala61]

that shit hurts the whole dropping the motor on the wrist yeah

[fawk_you]
