So the coupe crushed me yesterday..

[Beaterjuiced]

My fat ass = a fucked, dead duck.

Sucks, right? lol He must be a skinny turd to slide out of that situation.

[91CoupeMike]

Maybe get into Honda Civics or something ?

I'll be getting another Honda in feb, but not for theese reasons. Lol

It wasn't about how fat I was, lol Im about 180lbs and 6ft tall.

I was pinned shoulder on the ground, and shoulder on the driveshaft. So the width of me is what saved me. I'm not a small built person, lucky for me the blocks saved my life by flipping vertical and stopped the car from dropping all the way.

The blocks almost killed me and saved my life.

Red flags should have been waving when you first put the front tires on ramps.

Huge blaring horns should have been going off when you then jacked the rear tires off the ground.

I mean, seriously. Throw those ramps away, they are dangerous as shit.

You're only alive because you were skinny enough to not be immobilized by the car coming down on you. Have a little respect when dealing with 3000lbs of machinery.

The only reason you are alive, as I stated earlier, is because of your 4x4 mod. Next time let your brother use blocks on his powerwheels and use jackstands for dangerous stuff lol. I'm glad you are ok man.

Yeah, at 6'1, 255, I need to lose about 50 lbs.

I'll be getting another Honda in feb, but not for theese reasons. Lol

Maybe you should replace the coupe with said Honda. Just spitballin' here.

Well, I hope you are going to be smart enough from now on to use something better than some God damn blocks to put your wheels on.

[sosoe]

Glad your OK, But i always use jack stands, once on the air on jack stands ill shake the car to see if it drops then. if it doesn't fall ill leave the jack stands on and also leave the jack on it as well...

If there is one thing I do, it's learn from mistakes.

I don't think I'll ever Replace my car, I enjoy it too much just need to respect it and take better precautions.

That's what I did afterwards yesterday, and then I finished doing what I was doing.

[Strychnine]

My brother was playing the jackstands (taking the wheels off his power wheels)

Dad told me to finish the job and not whine.

You should punch your dad in the mouth.

4x4 mod is a great thing to have. Haha

I was more so happy about it weighing 3000lbs at most, I dont think I'd be here today if it were a heavier car.

[91CoupeMike]

You should punch your dad in the mouth.

Lol it wasn't like that, they were telling me that i can be scared to finish, and to not let the pony scare you just because you got bucked off.

I wanted to finish the job and he said for me to get after it. My whole family was scared and in shock. They were out eating and getting the "my car fell on me" phone call wasn't something they took lightly.

I told them I was fine it just hurt.

Yeah I hear ya. I hate crawling under cars being 6' 4"... no matter how high it's lifted off ground lol. One thing I've learned in aviation, "workarounds" can be the end of you (or others lol).

As much as people talk shit on here, there are plenty of folks willing to help. Just ax somebody!

I was taking the leaf springs off my 57 Bel-Air and everything let loose. Luckily I had a jackstand under it. The gas tank ended up about 1/4 of an inch from smashing in my face. Part of the car hit my shoulder, but didn't do too much damage. I got out fro under it and left it sitting as it lay for two weeks before I touched it again. Scared the living shit out of me. If that jackstand hadn't been there I would have been working on bringing flattops back into style. Moral of the story: always use solid safety measures when working under a car. Glad you're mostly okay.

When I was like 9 or so I was helping my old man with a tranny on a 57 Chevy. It was up on 4 cinder blocks and I was the only one left under the car working on the driveshafts when we heard the popping. As soon as I rolled out the blocks popped and dropped the car

[ceyko]

People give me the "you're a pussy" look when I use jack stands, and try to backup the jack stands with others if possible. At a minimum I also put a jack or two for backups to the jack stands. All those devices, jack stands, jacks, blocks of wood or concrete can fail. It's better safe then sorry.

Glad your okay and it's amazing what the human body can endure sometimes.
