haha, no, that was after. Here's how I hurt it, and why I will punch my friend in the face. I'm borrowing my friend's engine hoist to swap a JDM GSR motor into a friend's Civic. Part of the hoist was still bolted to the engine in his now scrapped 240sx project. So I go and unbolt this part, no problem. Well, one bolt is in an awkward position so I must use a stupid baby wrench and use my sexy child-like hands to get at it in between the engine and firewall.
As I'm doing this, I'm looking at the motor since it had been put in the car and then he gave up on the project. I start to think, "hmm... it doesn't look like this is bolted down to anything."
*CRICK* That is the noise the engine made as it shifted backwards, pinning my finger against the firewall. I did one of those screams where you open your mouth and yell, but all that comes out is air. Sort of a "UUUUUGHHH" but gasping.
Now my left trigger finger is pinned by a motor against the firewall and I don't know what the **** to do. My brain scrambles and I think about yelling for help, but nothing will come out. So I start grabbing the valve cover and try to rock this b**** enough that I can free my finger, but it weighs a metric s*** ton. Finally I manage to move the motor just enough to slide my crippled finger out, by means of grabbing the valve cover with my right hand, balancing all my weight on the front bumped, and pushing with my knees.
I need my finger for work and video games. I'll take a picture of it when it is purple and giant and cool looking.
