First, congradulations! You Da Man !!
 
My stupid burn story is not Car related but dumb enough to be  entertaining.
I was doing reserve duty after my two years of active duty with the  Army in 
Fort Drum NY in 1967. I had the opportunity to fire a Browning Automatic  
Rifle ,(BAR), and naturally showed off to the reservists and guardsmen watching  
by firing off a full clip, from the shoulder with this very heavy beast. I then 
 put the thing down, butt first, and promptly absentmindedly grabbed  the 
really hot barrel with my bare right hand. I rapidly decided this was  not the 
proper place to grasp the thing and removed same. My hand was stuck in  the 
thumb touches fore finger position for a good week after. This was very  handy 
(pun) for drinking bottled beer, shifting a four speed, or other manly  pastimes, 
but otherwise usually inconvenient. 
 Bob, never ever did anything stoopid  again,either,W
