PLEASE be careful when working on your cars!!!
I just got this from a friend of mine (names deleted, but otherwise complete). He's an occasional poster here, so he may chime in. Just a reminder to always "think twice, act once" when in the garage. . .
I just got word that a friend of mine was crushed under a car he was
working on and passed away this last week. ****** was a VW bus
enthusiast, and we shared a storage space in Venice, California. I
have a fleet of Porsche's -- and he had a fleet of VW buses -- so we
swapped parts and tools. We even thought about dropping a 911 motor
in a VW bus one-day. I just spoke to his girlfriend, and apparently,
the VW bus he was working fell on him while he was underneath it --
crushing his chest.
In his last will, he wished that he be parted out so that others may
live.
Please: properly support your vehicle when you are working underneath
it -- and back it up. And remind others to do the same.
