WOW I'm embarrassed!
I prob should be afraid to tell this story but what the hell, I don't know you people! lol
So first off I went to remove my BSM and that sucked because the door had been repainted and the new clear coat was covering some grime... so I had to re-install the BSM (about a 5 hr job!) so that sucked... In the meantime I was also sprucing up my Borla cat-back so I had the back of the car jacked up. SO I'm doing this all in my girlfriends garage.. she has a town home that only has a 1 car garage and the driveway is big enough for one car and it slopes down out of the garage.. so all day the car was jacked up and I had started the car a couple times to check for exhaust leaks well I left the car in neutral so when I let the car down off the jack it started rolling out of the garage and down the driveway.. I run after it like an idiot and get caught in-between the garage and the car...it runs over my foot, then i catch up to it sling the door open and break all my gf's driveway lights and hit the brake right before the street... I look over and there are 3 neighbors watching the whole thing... pretty damn embarrassing! Luckily no damage to the car!

Just to add a note here... the reason this is so funny to me is Ive been working on cars my whole life and have NEVER done something so stupid + Ive been making fun of my buddies forever about stuff like this...

Nice!
One time I ran over my own foot while pushing my car (which ran out of gas in a left-turn lane at a busy intersection during rush hour). About 50 people saw that....

I knocked a Street Rod I had off of the jack stands once in the garage and was pinned under it for 2 hours until a Buddy came by and found me.
