Stupid things you did when you were young thread

A couple of us decided to change the oil in a 56 Merc with a 312 y block and 3 2's. Neat car alot of noise and very slow. A storm was coming so we pulled it in his fathers garage, dumped the oil and started to refill the motor when my Mom called for dinner and the storm hit. I left Richie and Phil with the droplight and ran through the lighnting and rain to my house...when the bolt hit the house with the power line to the garage...lit the place up like a flashbulb. Those 2 staggered out covered in the drain oil they landed in ..they haven't been right since.
I also screwed up my 60 chev's new motor. Decided it needed a few more degrees timing, it's hard to get much out of a 235 six cyl. Didn't notice the distrubter wasn't fully seated, no oil from the pump. It did run a little better...not for long. I can still rebuild one of those things in my sleep!
