Well, after my near-death experience w/ the car falling on me last year, I FINALLY got the nerve to face my demons! I gave the civic a tune up (with jack stands of course!) and gave the Element an oil change (didn't even need to jack that one up )

Honestly, I feel like a huge burden has been lifted. I hadn't realized how much it still bugs me that the car almost killed me....still have nightmares f/ time to time and all. Just figured I'd share. Its kinda stupid, but hey, why not?!?

 

Cool man

 

anybody who wouldnt be afraid after that has no brain.

congrats on facing your fears man, that's the only way to move on.

 

:werd:

 

what they said man. It's good once you confront your fear.

 

Nice man. I didnt even know you almost died. I am too afraid to confront my greatest fear.....bees:nervous:

 

so, you got under your car with no jackstands last time? I guess the lesson was learned the hard way. I've seen too many crazy incidents with that, once it was at the shop I used to chill at, all of us had to pick the car up from the guys chest, punctured his ribs.

 

thanks everyone. as to not using jackstands, yep, one of the few times i didnt...was just taking a peek, and the jack gave way. Search for the thread if you want full details

 

lol you almost died.

 

was it a floor jack or one of those crappy honda scissor jacks?
