i have yet to have my butt kicked by my xj but i can defintly see it coming this summer as i have all kinds of parts to install. has any one ever nailed their finger to a wall with a nail gun well i have. let me tell you how smart i felt! i was a framer for a long time sometimes you get to goin to damn fast.

 

palm once the nail didnt come through but i could see the bulge on the other side once in the middle joint on my index it still hurts and i was messing around thought the gun was empty and stapled my pants to my let with an five/eights quarter inch crown nail oh and i also nailed my hand through a piece of crown molding because the guy i was working with changed the nails out while i was on lunch yup coulda killed him

 

Dude, I'm there with you on this. I have been hit in that little divider part of your nose with one of those wires out of a die grinder spinning at 20,000 rpm's. May as well have been a 20 pound sledge. eyes watering and cursing so bad truckers and sailors would have been embarassed. My wife says "wear a face shield" safety first. she's lucky to still be breathing after a comment like that.

 

Hey, maybe you should wear a face shield.

 

Not mine but someone else lost this on a trail run two years ago... By the time he made it to the hospital the finger died

 

That is not even right dude.... nasty. I wonder how that happened.
" and that is why not to try and hold the ****** block when winching......"
ewwww

 

wow thats nasty

 

they call them suicide sticks for a reason lol

 

suicide sticks hahaha never that before
about the whole finger thing i wouldnt have even taken it to the hospital i woulda put it in a jar of salt to dry it out and then make a necklace from it with a bear claw lion claw and my claw

 

That finger, yeah I had to drive one to the hospital. I was working at a cabinet shop and a guy cut his finger off so I had rush it to the hospital, I had the fastest car at the time, I figured I could show the cop the finger if I got caught speeding.

I also got my finger smashed between the tire and the fender well on my VW, when it fell off the jack when I was taking the tire off....no finger nail for a while...It was gnarly.

 

I hate it when that happens. I got my finger pretty good when i was putting the lowering springs in my camaro but no big deal like this....

 

Numerous bloody knucles/gashes and almost lit my self up like a christmas tree.

 

Using a socket to recieve the other end of a u-joint, I got frustrated and started swinging like an MLB pro with a ball pin hammer. Shattered the socket and a piece went clean through my shoe into the arch of my foot. It was such a fast clean shot I didn't notice until my shoe felt soggy. Doc spent around an hour trying to get it out to no avail (I passed out watching them dig around with tweezers). Still in there, I can pick up a magnet on the bottom of my foot. Doesn't bother me but looks like a dime-sized triangle on an x-ray. Black eye from 15/16" wrench falling, broken pinkie from spring compressor snapping, couple of burns from tailpipe, soaked up plenty of oil in open wounds... XJ and I are blood brothers.

 

well I was puttting up a pop up cover for some shade and got up on the roof of my 2dr to put the top on and the wind came and pushed me down and I fell on a fiberglass hood that slid out and I hit a tool box and a set of rims. It sucked for the rest of the day but only 2 long scares on my left leg from it.

 

Usual cuts, scrapes, gashes, bruises, burns from wrenching, grinding... Of course, there was the time I hurt my back when I was helping push a car off a trailer. The bumper twisted, squishing my hand between the bumper and body... Back was hurt following the car off the trailer since my hand was still in the bumper! Yes, my hand hurt, but my back was a wreck for a week.
