Never use an electric sander outside when it's raining.Remember this, it just might save your life someday.

Also, never make toast in the shower.

Dont change your belt while the car is running.

Never try to stop a fan with your tongue.

dont use your garage door opener till you are clear out of the garage.

Never stick a metal object in the electrical socket to test if it is working

Never buy a Fiero without getting a Haynes manual.

I guess that's like trying to use a vac to clean your car in the wet driveway and get tired of the GFI kicking out. So you bypass it to only find out that it was doing its job from giving a little jolt here and there

And never,ever go to Burger King and ask for a Big Mac!

You should always wait at least a 1/2 hour after eating before you drive or ride in a Fiero.

Never check your tire-pressure while driving.

Never stomp on the gas in reverse unless you're very skilled at driving backwards.. trust me on this one.

Have somebody take the sunroof glass
out while driving.
Big NO NO

If your up on ramps (to change oil or something), dont back off the ramps, car gets stuck

Teeth are not an appropriate substitute for pliers.

damn i knew i joined the forum for a reason, all the practical advice my mommy and daddy never instilled in me as a kid
(since i did try to stick a fork into an electrical socket!)

Don't throw down a fifth of scotch before operating your table saw.

If you're heading towards a snowbank, don't hesitate before you attempt to avoid it... each second you wait gets you closer to burying your car in a pile of snow.......

oh yes and one more thing ive learned through experience, dont walk in front of your friends brother when he is carrying a bow and arrow because those things DO stick in your forehead.

Never hit a fly on a friend's head with a hatchet.

Don't disconnect spark plug wires from the distributor while the car is running... no matter how hard you try, you'll never move faster than electricity.. I got zapped 3 or 4 times before I learned that one

Don't grab an exhaust manifold to see if it's hot.. you know it is

Don't check to see why the fan isn't moving while using a timing light . (cause it really is moving)

------------------

This is one of my favorite threads of all time. I hope we keep adding to it. We could write a survival guide and sell it to get more Fiero parts.

Never keep change in the ashtray of your Fiero, you know it will just fall in the shifter.

Don't change sparkplugs in a Fiero with spoiler on a windy day outside. You will get bonked in the head.

Dont clean a bug zapper while it's turned on.

LOL!!! Are guesses permitted?

personel monologue: "i'm not saying, 'cuz she's got plenty of stories to tell, herself"

did i really just say that out loud, or was i thinking that?

A blender even on low, is not a jacuzzi for a hamster.

Never laugh at a guy that just hit his fingers with a hammer- especially if he still has hold of the hammer.

Do not put a clipboard on the dash above the steering wheel. It will fall and jam your steering, while trying to mak a turn.

My friend did this when he was driving my 85 GT at the warehouse I work at. We have a yard where we park containers, and its shaped like an oval. Every once and awhile me and him would go out to see who could get the fastest times around the yard. He was driving hard into a corner the clipboard fell jammed the steering wheel. He locked the brakes up, heading straight for a container. The car stopped, with the nose under the container, about 6 inches from the windsheild. Thats the last time we did that.

NEVER Armorall your dragbike seat. It will knock your teeth out on the gas tank.

hoop: we are all dying to know who this girl is. And maybe they would like some tips on putting a car on crappy jackstands

Ah yes i got one: never ever take the rims off your car and keep them upright. Always lay them flat. They will fall down right on the good side.

sorry hoop, i'm having one of those days.

thats ok, i can take as easy as i can dish it out.

are you taking the car to the stereo shop that i recomended?

mmmmm let me guess......LOL. wondered why she asked me how to get scratches off her rims......

hoop- i took it to custom hi fi, they did a good job, for 87 bucks, but they chipped some of my interior paint off, so more touch ups. not a big deal, better than paying best buy $120 to chip it up probably worse.

you definately took it to the right place. i wouldn't go to best buy to have them install 2 cups and a piece of string on a bigwheel!

sorry about the paint chip.

did you get a chance to look at all the nice Eclipse head units when you were at CCHF?... ::droooooooollllllllllllll::

i perused the head units, but didn't pay much attention. most of the time i half slept on a plastic chair. i was going to have them recover my sub box in black but i just got so bored i had to leave there.

Don't eat yellow snow.
