I <3 my Nissan NOT FOR THE QUEEZY!

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

I dont know if I should post this but it has a moral to it.
So I was at pick n pull yesterday trying to get some camber and toe adjuster bolts for my HICAS Delete/ ABS delete/ 5 lug conversion etc. I had my wrench on the bolt I was trying to get pulling as hard as I could cause my wrench was too small and something broke. I had my hand inside the hole where the shock would normally go through the upper control arm and normally when I bang my hand on something I get a pain so bad it feels like I am going to throw up, but this one was different. It didnt really hurt so it took me a while to look down and to my suprise I had a gaping gash in my hand that was spewing blood! :tweak: So I took my hoodie off and wrapped it tight around my hand and yelled for my buddy who was looking at the honda parts and we rushed to the hospital. Well an hour and a half later (stupid kaiser) I had 10 stitches and an x-ray saying I hadn't broken anything.
After cleaning, before stitches

Day 2 with stitches

Moral of the story: wear gloves and use the right tools!

[adrians_s13]

thats your bone i see right? :barf:
how does it feel now?

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

hurts a little, makes my shifts a little hard and playing halo hard, but not too bad, i think i may have damaged the nerves cause if i actually touch it i cant really feel it

[mRclARK1]

Ouch... next time I scrape my knuckles up when my wrench slips I'm not gonna complain. haha.

[conner]

:rofl: :rofl:

.... and then a few hours later you would feel even worse for what you did to your lovely nissan. :wtc:

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

yea i love my 13 too much to hit it with a bat. stitches are worth it

[SochBAT]

Man, i hate when that shit used to happen. So gay.

Where's a good antibiotic when you need one?

[RiversideS13]

moral lesson: wear mechanic glove when you are doing stuffs on the car

[Nachtmensch]

atleast your hand looks badass now!

kidding... sorta. go woo some ladies. chicks dig battle wounds. ;)

[yokotas13]

moral lesson: wear mechanic glove when you are doing stuffs on the car
yeah becuase if it sliced that deep in the skin
it would NEVER go throgh a MM of cloth

[Farzam]

I've got way grosser pics of injuries and of my dad post-cancer removal.

But yeah man. +rep for that.
Close call, coulda been worse if you said fuck a hospital.

REMEMBER PEOPLE, SAFETY>HICAS REMOVAL.

[SimpleSexy180]

he probably would have just ended up with just a painful lil scar instead of gash if he wore gloves.

anyhow though...hope your hand recovers asap to get back to cutting yourself again with THE NISSAN.

[illvialuver]

damn looks tuff, well now you have astory to tell, and scars make you look manly, what man wants to have soft little pussy hands anyway.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Thanks everyone!
I'm going back today, with gloves this time!
And yes, my old crew chief taught me
1. Safety
2. Finish
3. Win!

[exitspeed]

This is where being Wolverine would come in handy...

Damn that is a gash. I've never seen a pic of someone's actual bone while they were alive. Can't say I ever want to again.

[s13poop]

next time I scrape my knuckles up when my wrench slips I'm not gonna complain. haha.

hahahaha word on that :D

im glad the injury wansn't too serious..

now back to the operation table :bigok:

[koukikat180sx]

Ouch. That sucks. Hope it heals quickly.

[PITCH]

In HS got a nasty gash like that on my pinky during a fist fight. 10 stitches and a tetnus. (My hand caught him in the mouth busted my hand clean open).

Ouch.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Damn, that would hurt too, but atleast u had some adrenalin pumpin, I didnt.
But yea got a tetnus too.
It stopped hurting when a kid in my astronomy class I used to know showed me the scars from where he had his entire thumb cut off.
After that I felt like a wimp.
Edit: Did you whoop him?

[nismo-joe]

I think with that kind of gash, not even my kevlar gloves from work would have saved him....
When in doubt get a bigger wrench.:keke: hope you get some feeling back in that hand, or maybe you could give yourself a stranger for the rest of your life.lol

[SiI40sx]

Its pretty much using force that worries me. Everytime I need to bust out a breaker bar or I know Ill have trouble losening up a bolt, I first inspect every part around it and see what can possible injure me while using excessive force. Its pretty much like you said, safety first and also make sure you have patience, when you dont is when you get hurt

[HalveBlue]

Great, now all the emo kids are gonna want Nissans to cut themselves with. :keke:

That's a gnarly wound, bro. Congratulations!

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Nismo- yea size does matter, i'm bringing back a bigger wrench today! and its just the top of my hand thats numb! lol

si- your first two letters sum up your relation to me, superior intelligence, im too dumb to have thought of that

Halve- roflcopter!

[180sExy]

wow! holy crap that is one big fucken gash! damn i'm not hungry anymore thank you. wow i hope you get better soon to get some kills on halo!

[boosteds13]

thats your bone i see right? :barf:
how does it feel now?
Thats not his bones... those are the tendons.

[MavericStephenc]

stiches like zip ties are battlescars all have a good story behind them.

but that is a pretty sweet cut

[tacotacotaco]

Lol at least you didnt lose your finger in a glass accident. Who wouldve known the glass was compressed and wouldve exploded.

[sTalnOut]

[boosteds13]

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Translation: Oh my [explative deleted] [structure built to hold back water and raise its level, maybe used to generate electricity or a as a water supply] The image of the wound on your hand really caught me off guard! Perhaps you should take safety precautions next time, however good luck with the speedy recovery or your hand.

Why thank you, you are so genrous sir.:)

[chr0nik_sm0k3]

[MURPHY]

Lol at least you didnt lose your finger in a glass accident. Who wouldve known the glass was compressed and wouldve exploded.

Quote from Napa Nissan: $120
Cost from Pick n pull: $2 admission + $2.50 for bolts + 10 stitches
Savings of $114.50
Secondary moral to the story:
Before you buy something from the dealership, go to pick n pull and see if you can get it there!

[Kaizen.]

Dam, just ate too :barf:
