Me have oo......

So I finally got around to throwing in my trans cooler today. Mounted it, cut the hose to fit (with a little extra slack) and hooked one up to the threaded adapter going into the stock radiator cooler so that way I can use that and the new one.  Well, i decide the hose is in the way of putting the adapter in the radiator.  I try to tug it off.  No dice.  Out comes the kitchen knife.  You know that dull, dirty rusty one we all have in our toolboxes.  I cut the hose and continue the cutting motion due to my hand slipping. 

The knife finally comes to rest in my finger and the wife had to take me to the hospital.  Yay! I'm a butthead!  Three hours later, when we got home, the wife finished hooking up the cooler.  No leaks and she didn't hurt herself...... I have a new mechanic!:D

Almost forgot. 6 stitches.  The only reason the knife stopped was cause of the bone....

I have to say, all the times I've hurt myself working on my car I've never had to go to the hospital for any of them. I think I've hurt myself worse at work actually.

Same thing happened to me with a dull rusty hacksaw when I was 9...not paying attention and cut down to the bone...ended up taking 8 stitches....don't you hate when something like that happens in the middle of a project?

Oweeee.

I've done stupid stuff like that. I get so far and start wondering where the blood came from. I never had to go to the hospital for anything like that though.

Mine didn't come with that either, it came with woodworking and cooking though as standard options. I got the slightly geeky as an option to go with my computer and general geekiness.

i actually think mine has a dealer installed anti-auto coating.
