Also drives a car powered by his own sense of self-satisfaction.

The only possible way of damaging a fuel pump when racing is repeatedly racing with very little fuel in the tank. This prolonged use with little cooling can theoretically can stress the pump from heat. Of course the same habit in street use would cook it just the same. Fuel pumps are on or off. What the engine does…

You seem to have a fundamental misconception about what happens at a track day. I recommend that you look up your nearest SCCA track night in America, or other similar HPDE event, and preferably drive in but, but at the very least go spectate. I’d rather run my car on a course like Watkins Glen than half of the roads…

I go around the car and give each jack a firm shake to make sure it’s solid, give the car a firm push at the roof line, and that each chock is firmly under each wheel. Then after that, I go around the car and give each jack a firm shake, the roof a…

This is what I am most terrified of when working on my own stuff.

no, I hate to say it but we should take away his tools. this isnt the first time this happened, we are doing him and his loved ones a favor...

Jeez man, hope he heals up soon. I hate getting under my car, even with jack stands and floor jack in place, it terrifies the shit out of me. I still do it.

I laughed and you should feel bad.
