What injuries have you sustained whilst workin on your cars?
I've had all the usual bruises and cuts etc, but topped them all today by settin my foot on fire 
Just wondered what you'd all done to yourselves

skimmed some skin of my knuckle removing doorcards and a scar from it. I also managed to crush myself in between two cars..... Our driveway is on a slope and the car was in the garage with the front poking out a little bit, the wheels were jsut in front of the lip of the garage floor (slightly raised from drive). Anyway the battery was flat and I needed to get the car into the gargage a little bit further. So I stupidly decided to let the handbrake off and push it into the garage. The inevitable happened and as I pushed the car intothe garage the wheels bounced off the lip of the garage floor and the car started moving forward with the handbrake off This is the point were I started worrying...I could either let the car go and try to run round in time to grab the handbrake as the car was rolling down the drive or try to push against it and stop it crashing into the brand new '03 reg fiesta parked a little further down the drive. Well i chose the latter option and physics won...a tonne of car downhill was no match for me holding it back and I was sandwiched inbetween the two cars  The force was quite hard and the fiesta actually moved a couple inches as I cushioned the impact of the corsa (with my knees ) Needless to say it was rather painful and quite awkward to get out
