Jayem Forums Junkie Location: Finland Registered: November 2002	Your funniest car related blunder. Wed, 03 March 2004 17:58 Here's mine: Blunder 1 Last summer I fixed my gasoline tank by welding. Tank had rusted very badly. There was at least dozen pin sized holes and you could make more by just blowing. Anyway I vented the tank for several hours and filled the tank with water before welding. I was welding this in front of garage. I did managed to weld most of the holes. Then I went for cup of coffee and when I came back to finish rest of the holes, I put mask back on and took mig-pistol (or what ever it's called) and pulled the trigger. In the very second of electric arc BOOM. You can guess what happened and I can tell you that I have never seen 65liters of water go thru 2" hole in less than 0.2seconds. Explosion spitted the water out so hard that the water flew about 7 meters and hitted in the wheelbarrows, that were sitting in the lawn. Wheelbarrows took off and flew/rolled in the bushes and thats something like 5 meters. I'm glad that the tank didn't splinter. Tank took off in the opposite direction of water jet. Tank hitted me and there I was sitting in my arse gasoline tank in my arms. There was two of my friends watching this parody. You cant believe how hard we laughed. Blunder 2 My mother had Sunny like this except it was station wagon and it missed that fully sick body kit. Anyway, I was driving it in really worn-out gravel road. All the sudden I almost hitted my head in the wind screen because car stopped really violently and I was like WTF? I jumped out and noticed that rear tires were ~30cm off the ground. After I leaned to look under the car, I saw that spare-tire and tire-rack had dropped and wedged between hole in the road and sunnys floor-pan. I did get off just by reversing a bit. The hinge was rusted off from the spare tire rack and cotter pin that should keep this thing up was SO stucked. So I started hitting it with shovel and that took ages. I already started to plan that I will reverse rest of the way(~10KM). Happy ending was that I did get the rack to fall off. As a mark of my win over the spare tire rack, I leaved the spare tire and the tire rack there . [Report message to a moderator]
