Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I must have missed your previous report of cracked ribs, what the heck did you do? I think I may cracked a rib many years ago working underneath the car trying to use my chest as leverage for removing a stubborn bolt. I never got it checked out, but I remember it being painful for quite some time whenever I took deep breaths.

I must have neglected to post about my ribs here while I was clinging to death's door. LOL. I guess these old bones are getting brittle.

It'd be cool to be able to say that I was injured while performing some incredible act of crime fighting or bench pressing a transmission but it happened when I was reaching for something I'd dropped. I was leaning over the back of one of our theater chairs stretching as far as I could. The seat backs are a rigid plastic and my chest was against it. I kept struggling to get to the part even though it was a few inches out of reach. Suddenly I felt something snap and knew what happened right away. I guess I may be prone to this sort of thing since they used a rib spreader on me during heart surgery. Doh!!
