Never kick a car..

Other

One summer,some years back, while on vacation with not much money to spend to go anywhere,or do anything, I figured I might as well do some things around the house.I had a 1974 Gremblin which I always had to check the fluids, oil, brake, transmission, and all regularly. With my wife and Kids luckily being at home,I commenced the job at hand. After checking all the fluids, I tried to close the hood. It wouldnt close!! After trying a little Wd-40 on the hinges, I tried again, and still nothing!! After a few cuss words,and a couple of kicks to it,I flung my right leg up over the top of the hood. Unfortunedly I didnt notice that my foot, was stuck down where the hood would close on it. Well,you guessed it, the hood closed down on my foot, leaving me trapped, lying over the front hood, and no way to release the latch inside the car.

I guess I must have called out for fifteen or twenty minutes when my wife came out laughing when she saw me,and finally released me from the hood. And she continued to laugh, all the to the emergency room, where after x-rays were taken, we found that I had a fractured second toe on my right foot..

I guess,I can laugh at it now, but I do take my cars in for oil changes ever since!!!
