What have you done that when you look back on it, could have ended so so so much worse? Not just in terms of cars.
The two that make me wince the most to this day are:
1) Shooting my brother in law's nephew in the head with a crossbow (it went through the skin above his eyebrow, glanced off his thick skull and poked out again near his temple, if it had been a bit lower then  )
2) Helping Rob B lower his car and not making sure he put the spring compressors on, then seeing the top mount smack him in the face when the top nut came off  Could have blinded him or at least broken his nose, as it was, just a scratch *phew*

i do that when loweing corsa's but i do it with a air geun and let the schocker fly into the wall 
personally tho ive had lots of things when working on cars but the closest i come to really doing bad damage is football and rugby.
recently i got tackled in footie and heard a crack from my leg and a lot of pain and though o dear- turned out to be sprained ankle so was back working at vaux within 4 days hopping arround servicing cars

Still makes me laugh thinking about how you told the breakdown people what had happened to the Cav
"The insides of the engine... are on the outside..."

I had a similar experience, I had to drive 110 miles in the corsa with 1/4 tank and the only possible way of getting fuel was when I got there and was given money to pay for it

I nearly crashed into an armco at over 100mph a few weeks back.
I went down on a girl who I didn't know very well once
My friend crashed his Saxo into a tree head on at 40mph with me as the passenger. We found out what it means when the air bag light is illuminated
Attempting a corner at 60mph and parking my car in a bus stop Only bent a wheel though

Dont say that! putting mine on axle stands this afternoon worried now
Had a quite a few near misses due to psycho drivers, and too many lorry near misses on motorways for my liking! Usually when they try and overtake eachother

one afternoon with the dreaded ex natalie...to give some background info I had not met her dad, in his pics and through site....he was like fenner off of badgirls(and a prison officer) only alot bigger! so me and nat was in her room,getting jiggy when theres a lil click...and her pet dog goes charging from wherever to the door...natalie informs me its her dad(he had come home early) and I shat my pants as my trainers were in the hall!!!
She went downstairs and made him a brew,hiding my trainers,when he went in the living rm I had to run/tiptoe down stairs, get my trainers on and scale the garden fence, and run across neighbours lawn, I proper bricked it, and all the kiddies saw me do it on the green opposite, never have i been so scared in my life!
Only other near miss I have had was getting my arm caught in my headboard while wanking....managed to cover myself and sort my arm free before people knew I was late down to the family dinner!
Car near miss was perving on high street totty when realising car in front had stopped in the wet...I locked up and slid and managed to not go into the bk of them!!!!
