Dude I'm glad your ok. You gotta be careful whenever and whatever your doing with a car. Some lessons we learn come hard. Believe me, most of us have made silly mistakes around cars. I know it sounds corny but think safety first then get to work on the car. Good luck with that burn hopefully it leaves no scars. If it does you can always say you got it in the war, chicks dig tough guy stories.

Autoshop

It won't happen again I'm glad it didn't get my face be no one was there web it happen butmy daddrove me to the hospital
Sorry about your painful lesson. Don't they teach auto shop in High School anymore? And isn't there a warning on the cap about opening it with a hot engine? Live and learn.... Feel for you, I have had a few close calls and one trip to the hospital for stitches because of working on mechanical things. Every time I have been hurt it been because I was in a hurry.
