I recently lost a good friend and respected family physician who was working 
on his classic Mustang in the mechanic's pit in his garage. He must have 
accidentally disconnected the gas line to the gas tank and had a few gallons of 
gas 
suddenly dump into the pit on him. He died on the spot from inhalation of the 
fumes. His son found him an hour or so later. What a devastating and 
senseless loss. The most dangerous tool we own is between our ears. There's no 
sustitute for common sense and concentration on the task at hand. I'm employed 
as a 
physician assistant in a busy community orthopedics practice and have seen my 
share of mangled fingers and extremities over the past 14 years. Almost always 
the accident can be attributed to carelessness, disregard for basic safety or 
using a tool for a job it was not intended for. Be safe out there. Enjoy your 
hobby and have fun working on your vehicles. But above all be safe. Have a 
nice Holiday all.                                                          Tom
