Perhaps not quite as serious as some of the previous "entries", but pretty dumb anyway:
Today I was washing my '75 using my newly purchased pressure washer. I had just given the car a good pre-wash using some snow foam, and was about to get started hand washing it with a bucket of Meguires Gold Class shampoo (2 bucket method, of course
)
Anyhow, I thought that the bucket of car shampoo had lost a lot of its suds whilst I was prewashing the car, so knew just the thing to get them back: Fire off the pressure washer into the bucket to agitate the mixture - what could possible be wrong with that?
As you can probably guess, firing the pressure washer into the bucket produced a soapy fountain of epic proportions which went all over me from head to toe. Oops!!
It did produce some nice suds though, just not much water left in the bucket.
At least there were no witnesses.
