You know as many times as I have cut, burned, scraped and lacerated my hands they are remarkably free of scars.

I think these are gonna leave some though.
 
Looks like a "pulled something out of the oven and hit my hand" burn to me. Ouch.
 
What the hell did you do?


I'm not so lucky with the scar thing. I have a lovely one on my wrist from a radiator.
 
Awwwww...Poor baby....I'll Kiss it and make it alllllll better!


:kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

there feel better now?


Angel
 
Will offer kisses only when I know what did it.

Well.....that will determined what type of kiss it needs....:rolleyes:
 
I think ouch is the understatement of the year here. That looks like it would be incredibly painful.

And sorry, my lips don’t have amazing healing powers - not yet anyway.

Very, very hot honda down pipe. Actually the woven flexible section is what got me so if you look closely you can probably see the criss cross pattern burned into my skin,

I would swear hondas had it out for me if fords did not injure me so much more often then hondas.

I would guess 90 percent of my burns and cuts come from fords and hondas combined but fords make up the vast majority of that 90 percent.

Here is a picture of the only really bad scar on my hands so far.

Its hard to tell from the picture but that cut went all the way down to the bone. My hand slipped on a screwdriver I was using to pry a valve cover off and when my hand hit the sharp edge of the motor it cut me really deep.

That was when I was 16. Sucked too cause I had a date that night and well uhh that finger is an important one for well uhh certain things being my longest finger. :D

I had guessed headers. I had a nasty burn on my ankle from sidepipes on the 64 Vette.

Mucho empathy on the screwdriver wound. I managed to shove a 1/8 in. optical screwdriver right into my thumb, stayed there when I let go. Didn't really hurt too much, but the customer I was helping almost passed out.

uuhhhhhh side pipes *drools*
I think a MINI would look good with side pipes but then everythign looks better with sidepipes. :D

Uhh sorry lost myself for a bit.

The screwdriver is impressive I dont think i have ever had anythign actually get stuck in my body before besides bits of gravel and such.

It was worth it. It's really hard to be a pain in the ass customer when you're desperately trying to keep your lunch down.
 
Hmhh I had totally forgoten this computer had a web cam installed on it but now that I remember...

Wow do I look like shit.

Hair up.
 
Damnit my hand still hurts too. I still have these 13 stitches in and was told at the hospital yesterday that I would have to keep them in for a few more days. As soon as I get them out I am going to try that new "Merderma" (sp?) stuff for scars, you might look into it and give it a try.

Dumbass me forgets to attach picture.

You had a jeep? An evil SUV? Oh come on, you didn't really have a jeep. Not you so pure of heart and so full of shit.

Yup I had a 1990 jeep cherokee till I totaled it my sophmore year of college.

Since you are ignorant though I will to explain a few things about cherokees since they are much different from must other SUV's.

1. They aren't that big. My jeep with a full tank of gas and me in it weighed less then 3800 lbs. The curb weight of a jeep is around 3500 lbs so with 200 plus lbs of me and 20 gallons of gas just under 3800 is about right. My bonneville has a curb weight of around 3300 and it is a full size car. The maxima my mom owns has a curb weight of about 3100 lbs and is considered midsized.

2. Jeeps actually get good MPG. They are rated for high 20's on the highway and after a little tweaking I was getting around 32-34 mpg on the highway. I got around 29 mpg with a combination of highway and city driving. I did this by changing several things on the car.

All of the fluids in the jeep were replaced with synthetic. I had replaced the exhaust from the end of the manifold to the muffler. I had a cat back system installed and a high flow cat. I never got around to adding a header since they are very expensive and a bitch to instal. I had planned to port match the intake at some point and then I would install a header at the same time. Jeep in line sixs have the exhaust and intake ports on the same side.

I had replaced all sixs fuel injectors with brand new after market units after two of my old ones started leaking. I figured might as well replace all of them at the same time.

Oh and this was all with oversized 30x9.50 BFG all terrains so I was probably losing a couple MPGs or so because of the tires.


3. I actually took my jeep off road. I belonged to the Four Wheel Drive club at tech and usually went off road several times a semester. I used to take camping trips in the jeep during HS too. I used it to haul stuff to. I pulled trailers with it on occasion and stuffed the cargo area with go-carts, furniture, engine blocks, bikes, mulch/dirt on a couple of occasions(used a tarp for that) and lots of other random crap over the years.

4. All jeeps, exept the jeep utilities(i.e. Wranglers, CJ's and such) use unitframe/unibody construction. These is the same type of construction that all cars sold in the US use, except Ford Crown Vics they still use body on frame, and is vastly superior to the older body on fram style design. Unitframe construction is much stronger then body on frame design and much safer in a crash. It is much easier to design crumple zones and safety cages when using unitframe construction.

Just look at IIHS crash test and compare vehicles with unitframe construction to vehicles with body on frame construction.

http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/summary_midsuv.htm

I know that all the vehicles from the BMW X5 till the toyota highlander are all unitframe construction. The bottom four vehicles are all body on frame.

Now look at full sized pickups.

http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/summary_lgpickup.htm

All of these are body on frame and only the toyota tundra does well. You can make a body on frame car do well in a crash but it is harder then with a unitframe car.

Now look at these midsized to compact cars.

http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/summary_midmod.htm

http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/html/summary_midinexp.htm

For the most part these all of these cars do ok and on average they do much better then body on frame SUV's.

Here is the one for my jeep. I flipped my jeep at around 50 mph, slammed into three trees then fell 7 feet to the ground landing on my roof. That truck was a beast and incredibly strong compared to most of the other SUV's.

Damn

I've never flipped, went up on one side, but came back down. I assume you walked away from that one?

Yeah walked away just fine.

I have the pictures of the jeep after the wreck around here some where I will have to find them sometime and post them.

I ran off the road hard for some reason, not exactly sure why since I hit my head hard enough to knock me out so I don't remember, ran into a ditch and hit the side of a guys drive way. The side of the driveway acted like a ramp and launched me into the air but I hit the driveway at an angle so it also rolled my jeep upside down.

From the slash marks on the first tree that I hit, which i ripped out of the ground and knocked over, I would say my bumper was about 7 or so feet above ground. Remember though I was upside down so I had about 4 feet of air between my roof and the dirt.

I hit the first tree and then kind of spun/slid into two more trees.

The roof only collapsed about 3 inches in the front and none in the back. Only the windshield and front side windows broke.

The people walking up thought it was a fatality and asked where the body was. I crawled out of the truck before the guy could run from his house to the end of the driveway so was probably only unconscious for about 30 sec to a minute.

I crushed the sinus cavity above my left eye and had a big seatbelt welt on my chest thats it.
