Default And for my next trick........

Well kids I learned another one of life's lessons the hard way Monday afternoon. How many of you shade tree mechanics have started that dam old truck by pouring gas down the carb? Well I have a hundred times and I guess I should have stuck with that number as attempt number 101 landed me in the hospital. Third degree burns on my neck and right ear and a $5000 deductible should remind me to be more careful.
