I’m loving this thread guys. I’m embarrassed to say I have nothing to add, however I can’t help but think if only Mr. Weld were here for this one...oh the stories he could tell.

At 17, I pegged my parent's car at 135 mph on a freeway in the Bay Area. When I hit a bump and was nearly airborne, I s%&t bricks and ended my quest for top speed.

Great stories here!!

19 yold. 84 Trans Am. Had an oil leak, thought I would Gunk the bottom so it would be a less messy repair (oil pan gasket). Put it in the grassy field behind my house, jacked it up and put it on stands. Fortunately, I did the shake test before climbing underneath. Yep, stands rolled in the grass and it fell to the ground. That would have been bad. Stupid stupid stupid

When I was very young, grew up next door to a short track racing family, still great friends today. The dad was working underneath a 57 Chevy race car and it slipped off the stands, frame crushed his jaw and his arms were trapped underneath the still mostly hot headers. Had to talk his wife through jacking the car up.

Still gives me chills.

I'm about 8 days into my first job as a mechanic at a Toyota dealer. I get this Jeep Comanche pickup truck thing that needed some power steering work done, a hose or pump or something. Well, I go to bleed the system and reach in to start it, and it's a manual transmission, and it starts. It stopped when it hit the workbench. Thought for sure I'd get fired, but nope.

Same place, a guy who worked across the shop from me suspected a bad fuel pump on one of those Toyota pickup motorhome conversion abominations. It's fuel injected. He decides the best way to test the pump is to remove it from the fuel tank (which you have to drop out to do btw) and then proceeds to place it in a metal drain pan full of gasoline. He grabs his handy 12 volt battery, some jumper wires, and places the pump in the pan of gas and connects her up. Well, it sparked and the ensuing flames spooked him causing him to knock the pan of gas off of the milk crate it was resting on. This is about the time, as I'm working across the shop from him, that I notice a co-worker walk by and grab the fire extinguisher off the wall behind me. I figure this is worth peeking out from around the open hood, and it was. Once everything settled down I walked over there. There was fire extinguisher stuff EVERYWHERE, but the funniest was all his sockets in the top of his tool box were filled with the stuff!

Then there was the FJ60 Land Cruiser I put about 3 rear main seals in because they wouldn't stop leaking. Come to find out I nicked the crankshaft on the first one, so I ended up putting a crankshaft in that beast of a thing. I only got paid for the first seal too!
