Not even 1 week of ownership and the 914 bites me.. I was getting the 914 up on stands and ramps, crawling around under it and assessing the work that needs to be done and somewhere along that I've gone and tore out my shoulder... Off work for atleast a few days if not longer... SOB... Maybe I should have bought the car some flowers or something when I put er' into my garage... I guess I'll be paying a few bills with my savings now instead of buying a welder.. bugger..

I can relate... I was laying on my back under the front of the car (on ramps). The ramps I have are the plastic kind and just tall enough that I can slide me and a creeper in there. I was reaching over my head to tighten a bolt (brake master cylinder if memory serves) and popped my shoulder out of socket. I couldn't move and no one inside my house could hear me.
I finally was able to wiggle off the creeper and "fall" to the ground. That put my shoulder back in. I was in so much pain and so pissed no one could hear me... Cars are mean that way sometimes. Like women... ;-) |
