Mines not so bad, but it hurt like a bitch..

I was changing shoes to drive home from work. While putting on the second shoe I started loosing my balance and hopping around. The door was open, and had closed a little, and I hopped right into it.

I suppose I'm the RX8's bitch now..



Surely some of you folks have either hurt yourself, or have been delt a beat-down from this car..

 

Ouch!

I closed the sunroof with a piece of my hair streaming out of it.. didnt realize until it started to pull and well, it was caught. Ripped most of the piece right out of my scalp. No pics of it hanging out the roof though.

PS love your avatar.. LOL

 

Hippy get a hair cut.

 

I did right after that, chopped 12 inches of hair off...
I'm assuming that you're assuming I'm a boy...



Nope...!

 

sorry about what happened to you guys. i had my left leg out the opened door while grabbing something from the glove box. i guess the wind got the door going and it closed on my shin. we all know how the rx8 door catches momentum as it slams shut. you ever get hurt so bad that you start laughing because it hurts that bad?! it hurt that much and my bruise was worse than yours.

 

Ouch!

 

chicks dig scars!

 

Sweet, it's even more purple today!

Now it looks like somebody implanted a can of delicious grape soda next to my ribcage.


I've also torn up my hand when I get frustrated with the dipstick. It'll go almost all the way in but gets caught on that little plug that seals the tube..

Before that I would bang my knees up getting in until I learned how to slide in smoothly without hurtin maself...

 

Before I bought my RX-8 I went to test drive one, and I had opened the driver's door most of the way and stepped between it and the car...well since I didn't open the door ALL the way, it swung back closed and the top corner stabbed me in the back..OMG is hurt soooo bad. I was sore for like a week afterwards too.

Anybody else have problems with the door swinging closed un-expectedly? I still have trouble with it sometimes.

 

I cut up my arms a bit when installing the borla exhaust on NoPiston's otherwise stock car. The first time removing the hangers are a pain.

 

when i got into my accident the airbag deployed and burned both of my arms. my left arm wasnt so bad but i have a nice burn now on my right arm. it was more like a friction burn when they came out, it killed for the rest of the day!

 

the corner edge of the door hurts like a BITCH!

 

I slipped on a patch of ice and hit my fender. Luckily, my face broke the fall.

 

i had an afro not too long ago and it used to get caught in the door. and my girl got hit in the forehead by the door too.

 

My RX8 molested me.

 

My doors are very very hard to move. They have never closed on me, they always stay as open or closed as I leave them. My wife's 04 mustang has some long loose doors that beat me up all the time. God I hate fords!!

 

I was getting something out of the trunk and I burned my legs because of the pertruding Mazdaspeed Exhaust.

 

I tend to twitch and stutter when not actually driving the 8. It goes away once I start it up and head down the road.

It's called RTS: "Rotary Tourettes Syndrome"

 

pansy.

 

i don't have a garage(IN THE WORKS OF HOME IMPROVMENTS) so i put up a tent two years ago and one day i was backing in the tent like i have done so many times before and parked to close to the the tent .went to the trunk to find two perfectly burned holes in my tent.two weeks later getting near winter i backed in again and burned two more holes in the damm thing.well since then the snow knocked it down and no more tent!i also have be burned by the tail pipes too!them suckers get hot as hell!!and leave one nice burn mark! leason learned!

 

I had the same thing happen, but I didn't hop into the door, I just kinda closed it into my ribcage. Hard. These doors are pointy at the top - like "poke your eye out" pointy. It hurt like a sonofabitch but there were people around so I just walked it off like a man. Then I spit, grunted and adjusted my boys.

As for injuries sustained while working on the car - I've lost count. Blood goes well with grease anyway.

 

I've got a couple.

Unscrewing the oil cap, the rubber washer/seal drops into the engine and I think "Hey! I can grab that!" only to find out that yes, the engine gets hot and I am retarded.

Spent 2 hours washing and detailing my car on saturday, when I am all finished I go to grab my towels to begin drying it. Well my foot slips inside of my flip flop and I land perfectly on my *** in front of the neighbor's really hot daughter. Hurt so bad I just started laughing.

 

One time when getting out of my car, I get out in a way that makes me semi-parallel to the door, and I use my hand to push the top of the door to close it, and the top part normally swings underneath my arm perfectly fine.

Wellll one day that edge of the door, went BAM right into my right armpit and scracthed the hell of me and my shirt a bit. It hurt like hell. My roomate was with me and I just played it off as nothing but goddam that hurt!


As for burns, eh...I've accidently brushed my skin up against the engine after I turn it off to add some oil. and I've felt how hot the exhaust tips can get, wearing shorts and trying to get the oil from the back of the trunk, it seemed more convienant than just going from the back and unlocking it and getting at it that way.

These both happend on 2 seperate occasions when I decided to add oil. Needless to say I make sure I absolutely need to add it in now since I'm very accident prone during the process.

And when I say I wait til I absolutely need it, I meant whenever I fill up I use to just top it off, but no more! I'm just going to check it and if it needs it then I'll add it in >_<

Oh yeah, first time I got the car, to check the oil I almost burned myself reaching down to grab the dipstick.

 

My RX8 has beat the sh*t out of my wallet. It may never recover.

 

RPM666 "I land perfectly on my *** in front of the neighbor's really hot daughter."

I neglected to mention that what mainly caused me to loose my balance was a super hot coworker elegantly walking to her car. She's about 25, has the body of a track runner, and was wearing this little summer skirt over her tanned legs... Mmmmm

I think injuries are pretty dam hilarious as long as they don't hurt to bad.. Except for burns, I absolutely hate burns..

Here's my pointy door bruise after 48 hours...LOL
