Had the S%$t scared out of me today!

Ok, almost embarassed to post this but here goes. I was in a big hurry to get out and cruise the Dragon Street Nationals today, but the battery was dead.

In haste I was under the car working quickly to replace the battery and accidently hit the aluminum on the trunk, created a spark and flames burst out as I realized I was laying under the gas tank:eek:. Needless to say I did change the battery (and my shorts) in time to cruise.

By the way, for all interested in a lake cruise, one of the attendees will be bringing his original 289! I will post pics of the car tomorrow.

Thanks, both of you are real helpful:mad: It actually sparked and was out before I knew what happened. The only casualty was a cut on my forearm when I rushed to get out from under the car.

But, let me get this straight, the crome fire thingy in the car is used to put out the fire?? So, if I point it at the fire, the fire will go out:cool:

Good stuff. Thanks.

Sorry dude, just trying to have a little fun :o. Seriously though, happy to hear that everything is ok and bringing to our attention the crazy stuff that can happen, even when you're prepared.

No offense taken on my end. Just having fun myself. Sorry, sarcasm never comes through well online.
