My car just ran over me while I was under the hood. I've been having intake probems from a cracked gasket. I was chillen under the hood with my ebrake on when the **** took off on me. I got out of the way but it still hit me a bit

 

So was the car running? Did it just start to roll? Fell off jack? You make it sound that like one of those evil ghost cars in a b-movie.

Seriously...I know you didn't mean it like that but what happened?

 

I had it in drive figuring it was fine, cus i always do that.... noone was in the car. I had the ebrake on a flat driveway. and then i was under the hood and the car reved up and hit me

 

wait, what!? you have the car sitting in the driveway, running, in drive with the parking brake one? why on earth you do that? your just asking for trouble. lucky you didnt get hurt

 

What were you doing when it "revved?"

 

checkin it out cus i changed my oil and gas to 92 unleaded and 10-30 Hp motor oil

 

This sounds liek a smart idea, im gonna try it too.

hey i always leave my car in drive and get out.

 

lol bro, broski, man, i don't usually have to worry about that stuff since it's on flat and ebrake was fully grabbed

 

Thee-brake only holds at idle ata little above. It does not STOP thecar, regardless of throttle. Obviously, you were playing with the throttle or you hit it/thecable in some way. It's not gonna move on its own. Or the e-brake cable suddenly snapped.

Either way, leavig the car in Drive & getting out?

 

lol yeah i know. not a reasonable move. but it took off cus of my cracked gasket i think

 

that is hilarious iv done similar things but all ways in reverse and up against a wall thats one of the first things my father told me (never stand in front of a running vehicle )

 

why didnt you just put it in nutural and put the ebreak on? thats what i do. if its an auto i put it in park. sheesh. people these days. if i were to put the car in gear. i would jack up the rear of the car so the tires were off the ground.

 

LOL raz...carefull dude..

 

Yeah! Its called Ghostriding the Whip. Its all the new rage amongst the unintellegent crowd.

 

Why dont you spend your money fixing the bad gasket instead of wasting it on sucker gas and oil. You never leave a running car in gear and get out of it!

 

 

sometimes the car will only show a problem when the motor is under the strain of the ground it wont do it in neutral or of the ground thats why you find a sturdy wall and put it in reverse also jacking up the car and putting it in drive is kinda scary too but i have done it to diagnose rear end problems or other drive train problems

 

ok i just need to know one thing y did u leave it in drive? is it that hard to put in park or even nutral?

 

to do some adjustment and tests it is useful to be in drive that way you have load on the engine. especially adjusting the idle screw on a carb. now i doubt it needed to be in this instance but we werent there to know for sure but if u must put it in drive its best to have someone in the car depressing the brakes....or at least do the ebrake and chock the tires...and DO NOT REV THE ENGINE.....so everyone stop acting like its the dumbest thing in the world to have a car in drive.....weve all done dumb ****, my advice Raz dont post ure mistakes unless u need help fixing them becaue there are alot of asses on here that think they are gods gift to cars...

 

this is like that story everyone has herd where the guy wants to hear something under his truck so he straps himself to the bottom and has a friend drive down the street and falls to his death i thought these were all auto urban legends

 

lol i just posted it cus it's interesting. some dudes on here need to chill a bit

 

Natural selection strikes again!

 

you can suck your own **** after i send it through my fuel injectors you *******

 

EDITED....I just realized you are the original poster....Who can't take a joke.

But apparently, the joke makes sense now...

 

i definitely wouldn't care to drive there and beat the crap out of you. but that's pretty stupid. im chill. And i'm almost positive. If you're gonna make a remark about someone don't ***** out and not announce who it's to

 

PLEASE tell me your local & come try? PLEASE! It'll be.....fun!
