funny thing happened today
i don't know if this is the right forum, so move it if you want to, mods.
today i aligned my headlights - not well, but better than last night. i forgot to put something away under the hood properly so it was hitting/rattling the hood while i was driving. i stopped, pulled up the ebrake, popped the hood, got out the car, opened the hood, and then tried to recreate the sound by moving the throttle cable. well, it didn't move the first time, so the second time i pulled up on the metal thing real hard, and by "real hard" i mean that the engine probably revved up to around 3000rpm. that's enough "rpm" to get the car moving.
guess what? if you read through the story, then you'll notice that i never took the car out of gear. yep. that's right.
i ran myself over. it was so humiliating and my foot hurts.

heh nah i'm not hurt. just ran over my foot. it wasn't really that bad, just a lot of pressure on my foot. not nearly as bad as getting your foot run over by a rx300 (weight difference is massive...)
One Slow Civic.... But I can take turns pretty well :-)

LOL! Thats great. You should have jumped on the engine and went with it. lol. Did it burn out? Cause the rear brake was engaged? It would be awesome if you could do a burn out while standing on the engine...
P.S. Yes... I am crazy.
