Damn, sorry to hear that

Thanks for the 'tip'.
:winkwink:

I can't remember the last time I opened a radiator cap. Maybe 15 years ago?

Thank god for cars getting better in the last few years. I had a Mustang that I worked on all the time, mostly because it was always broke -- but one time I was dumb enough to pull off a cap from a hot radiator. I got sprayed, but my catlike reflexes saved my face from getting fried. I had coveralls on which protected any part of me that got wet.

get well soon, and remember that Aloe vera is your friend.

Damn ... be careful dude! Hope you heal up well.

Wait, I'm not sure I'm understanding this incident correctly. Did your upper radiator hose actually fail while you were working on the car doing something else? Your post made it seem like you do indeed know better than to open a hot radiator cap. If you didn't, then while I do sympathize with what clearly seems like an incredibly painful experience - you did have it coming. If you got sniped by a random hose failure, then I'm doubly sorry. I'm quite a gearhead myself, and shudder to think about a hose just blowing up like that.

Either way, I hope you get better soon, and that the complete fuzziness of your entire head can heal in short order. :winkwink:

fuck dude!
you're lucky you still have working nose mouth and eyes!

gratz on that at least.

Sometimes learning from mistakes really costs.

ouch that sucks
