hey, just a warning, and alert that i am some sort of idiot.

if you ever drive for 2 hours and then stop back at your house and start checking things on your car cause its nice and out you don't have anything better to do, and you lean underneath it and are like, look at that shiny metal pipe that I think is part of the exhaust manifold......DO NOT TOUCH IT

hahahaha

i think i burnt off 3 of my fingerprints, it was definately the hottest thing i have touched in my entire life

 

lmao... MIB style, no fingerprints!

 

Future Darwin Awards winner?

 

Unless he burns his hand, kicks out the jack and decapitates himself...I think there will be better choices.

 

Momentary lapse of brain function?

Happens to everyone, well not me, so just about everyone.

 

rotfl.

 

lol heeeeeeeres your sign

 

"dayum that's hot!"

ya i was thinkin the same thing. Not necessarily darwin but definitely "sign worthy".

 

As my Sensei use to say, "Pain is an excellent teacher."

 

heh - i once noticed some gunk on my exhaust tip when i got home and tried to wipe it off with my finger.................while the car was still on

 

This thread has qualified for the 2nd round of "thread of the month" semi-finals. Congrats...ahaha.

 

I did that once too. In my defense it was about 20 degrees F outside so my mind just told my hand everything would be cold.

 

I will say I know better than to touch the exhaust considering I looked under the car one night and saw the exhaust glowing orange! I also have had the cat replaced under warranty before and they gave me a ride home even though I only drove it about 15 minutes that morning. The reason was because the exhaust gets so hot on the 8 that they needed a couple of hours for it to cool before they would even start working on it.

 

oil change while the car was "warm". and first time changing my oil. and the pan wasn't big enough so i had to hold the flow with a thin towel, ouch.

 

I was putting on a new mid-pipe and accidentally touched my exhaust when it was still warm.
I still have my fingerprints though haha.
