OK well I left my car once in newtral and I was leaning in the engine bay. Then my car rolled out of my garage (Theres an incline ) and i fell into the engine Bay trying to stop it from backing out.. Anyways it backed right out into the street and I got broadsided by a BUS thus sending me into the ICU for a week.

The paramedics told me that I had the Vtec lettering printed on the side of my forhead...

Screwed up my power mirror switch while changing the bulb to a blue LED.

BTW, just because you've been soldering for years doesn't mean you still won't burn your finger and throw the power mirror switch into a concrete wall as some kind of stupid reflex.


New switch due in Thursday: $10.

When my friend and I lowered my car we had to cut out the rear fender lip and slipped and skippe dup the side of the car...not as bad as it sounds thank god but then to top it off when he hit it with some black paint to seal the raw metal he tested it on a paper to make sure it sprayed good sicne it was sittin a while and then when he moved gust of wind blew the paper up on the side of the car so had a nice scratch from a saw with a black smudge next to it. It is all good now though since the repaint...lol. Should of expected it though things were going to smooth. I also did the blue LEDS didnt have a prob other than i am not patient enough to solder LEDS...lol Still havin a prob with some of them burnin out though.
