ya know, i just remembered the stupidest thing ive ever done working on my pcar... i think it was suppressed in my memory...

well one day i decided to readjust my ebrake. so i get it completely up on jack stands and do my job. right before im done my friend comes over in his Pr5 and parks behind me and starts working on his car. well i get all of the jack stands outand soon as the car hits the ground the car starts rolling backwards... i get up scream "OH $hit!" and start running around the car to the drivers side. i already knew what the problem was, i forgot to engage the ebrake after working on it. well right as i get to the drivers side door the car stops. i pause for a split second and am like "wtf?" then i quickly open the door and pull the break just in case. i look behind my and my car is about a foot away from the front of my friends new car and he is hanging upsidedown under his dash half in his car. i walk up to his door and ask him if he heard me. he gets up looks forward and is like "whoa! howd your car get so close?!"

well i turns out that when the car started rolling i left the jack in place on the ground and it stopped the car... thank god. the only injuries were the cuts along my fingers from catching them on the broken light/reflector on my rear cornerpanel.

Asking if you should replace that timing belt is like asking if you should re-use a condom that may have in hole in it with a hooker.
