Haha, its cool to see so many stories.
I havent had much of a history with fixing my car, but I do have two stories.
My car was overheating something serious from air let in the system from a cracked heater tap. Me and my father replaced the heater tap with a pipe connecting the coolant going out of the engine to the coolant going back in. The genius decides to check the main pipe going to the top of the engine and disconnects from the radiator side not realising that I was there. The massive pressure catapulted the Overheated coolant right at my chest instantly giving me second degree burns which burnt through my shirt. Ive still got some skin that turns red with heat on my chest.
Also i was having a looksee on the other side of the dash fascia. I broke the Hazard switch inwards. 80 dollars or auto electician fees and some heavy duty clips, and its fixed.
