Default My Car Tried To Kill Me

After a month of sweat and blood going into getting my car running (xr2 rs turbo) i finally got tax today and was having a spin about. Had a slight rattle coming from the exhaust so pulled over at home to check it out. Jacked up the car at the back and spotted a mount not connected. jacked it up a bit higher and crawled under to repair it......was almost there and yep you guessed it! Car rolled and i was crushed! I managed to let out a couple of cries for help before i had no breath left, luckily a young polish lad heard me and ran for his dad who came over and lifted the car enough so i could breath. Few more peole came over and they managed to lift it enough to get me free. I have been very lucky and got away with some bruises and scrapes and a sore chest but at least im alive. I know i was stupid for working alone and not using stands but i can assure you all i have learned my lesson.
