You ever think back and say, "darn I was lucky not to be killed or hurt bad"?

    He has not talked me into playing spaceman in the dryer or set me on fire in years, so we are good.

    Naw just the big brother stuff, I do taunt him from time to time saying he did his best to kill me and all it did was piss me off.

    I dunno man...there seem to be more foreigners here in Chicago than natives. It's a god awful mess.
    I've driven in DC, ATL, LA, NYC, NJ, South America, India, and PR. PR was the worst of them all for straight up crazy drivers. India was pretty bad, but it's so congested no one can go over 40mph so it doesn't matter as much.

    I was changing my front springs on my car with a c-clamp.... When I got one side taken off I quickly released how much pressure the spring was under and how dangerous it was that I just took it off with a c-clamp.....

    I ran to the store and bought a spring compressor. I'm lucky it didn't shoot off like a rocket and hit me between the eyes.

    I probably should not be on planet Earth on several occasions. Kind of scary looking back.

    Funny you mention that...yesterday I was telling my dad I was going to put a leveling kit on my new truck and asked him if he had a spring compressor. He said no and I said I'd just use a c clamp. He said if I did he'd likely be speaking over my casket. Told me I was an idiot.

    Needless to say a stop at Autozone was planned on my way home tonight.

    Probably hands down the dumbest thing I've done in recent years.

    Always better to be safer than sorry when it comes to working on/under cars.
