Yesterday me and my friend were working on our vehicles for most of the day. After we got the starter changed out in my van, we decided to try and bleed the brakes on his 1979 RX-7. The only reason why he cant drive that car right now is cause the brakes dont work at all.
Anyways it was getting late and we were unsuccessful in bleeding them (I found out this morning what we were doing wrong). We decided to go ahead and park it under the cover on his drive way in front of his sisters car, and I was gonna get in front of his car to stop it from hitting his sisters car (Remember, no brakes). So anyways he starts pulling up, a little faster than I expected and I got distracted by his front left headlight cause it had water in it and looked like an aquarium and found it funny cause it was sloshing everyehre. Before I knew it he was coming in a little too fast and my legs were in the way of his front bumper and his sister's front bumper.
WHAM!
His car pile drives into me and my legs get sandwiched between two bumpers. He gets a look of dread in his eyes, jumps out the car and says "Man, thank god your legs were in the way cause I would have wrecked dude!". Man it hurt quite a bit, I was like "AGHH YOU BASTARD" and walking off the pain, it felt like I got a really extreme charly horse in both legs. Anyways I am doing fine, I was in a little pain last night but had a couple cold beers with my buds last night and am fine this morning. Man, I got lucky.
Cliff Notes:
1. Working on buddies car, brakes dont work
2. Starts getting late, decide to call it a day
3. I try to stop car in garage, get distracted
3. Legs get sandwiched between two bumpers
4. Legs were hurt bad but nothing broken
5. Few cold beers and I am walking and feelin fine today :beer:
