Well it wasn't me with a car on my head in the incident alluded to in 15, but I was there. It was a red Alfetta sedan on three wheels - and one head - and the head was yelling "Get it off, Get it off!!". We levered the car up with a 4X4 post and the removed wheel and he slid out from under the car like a snake - never saw somebody slide out from under a car so fast without a creeper. And the only injury was a little skin wound where something under the car poked through by his ear.
Ordinarily one wouldn't need to get completely under a car to look at the brakes, but Alfa Romeo puts their prakes in a real stupid place. I hate Italian cars. The first car I ever had was a 1959 Fiat, and I know why the Yugo was such a piece of crap.
