Also, tried to replace the radiator on a friend's 2000 eldorado. Couldn't get the new one to line up well enough to get the fans back in. Managed to year my hands up pretty nice in the process.

Dang trees will always win in a fight with a bike and a rider. I remember the first time I ever replaced the brake pads on my 914 I fired it up to back out and go for a test drive. The pedal hit the floor as I had not touched the brake pedal as yet. I was rolling right toward a busy street and hit the brakes a second time. Phew, stopped just in time. Now I know, pump the brakes before I put it in gear.
