Default Crashed in my own garage...

So yesterday i get off of a 48 hour shift with hardly any of those hours being sleep and on my way home i am thinnking my clutch is feeling funny. I get home and pull up a search and decide it might be that my clutch fluid needs to be changed. I put the rear end up on ramps and crawl under there and change the fluid out, all goes well. As i start the car to pull it off the ramps i have my left leg hanging out of the car and just want to let the clutch out a little to get it off the ramps. Well, foot comes all the way off the clutch instead and , in gear, it hauls ass off the ramps and into a buncha crap in my garage. That crap is what kept me from goung through the wall and straight into my living room. Or loosong the leg i have hanging out of the car. Pass fender, hood, driver door all messed up as in like huge creases in the sheet metal. Lesson learned, dont be a dumbass with a bright idea with no sleep and decide to work on your car.

It's surprising how little control we have with the 'other' foot. It's the same trying to brake with your left foot.

shit happens.
Bet you wont ever do that again

Once while working on my car, i jacked it back down and forgot that i put it in neutral and removed ebrake... Yup, car rolled off the 2x4 ramp and right into the garage door... Now I check that ebrake is on and in gear before lowering 10x before actually lowering.
