...a cylinder head from my E12. I was putting it on the shelf for storage (it is an extra I got with the car). I guess the grease got my hand just right and slipped out and hit my arm and then the door of the E34. It took quite a hit and came about 3 inches from hitting my foot. Instant hospital trip saved :)
I'm real happy that I know how to do body work.
Anyway, on to the pics...

The funny part about it is I'm not even that pissed about it.

Not only that, I nearly twisted my ankle coming back in the house.
The dent is bigger then the pics make it look though.

thats a horrible spot to dent an e34, would have been an expensive fix...

It's expensive if you take it somewhere. I plan on fixing it myself with a hammer and block. I'm just glad I got 10 toes.

Sucks, but the car you can fix, your not that easy to fix. I tell that to people everyday when they bring in their wrecked cars and they are pissed off or have a bad attitude.

I was more amazed that it did not do more damage. I'm not even that mad about it. The cylinder head won though, no dents in it.
Yup;)
Glad you got your toes:)
Opps. Didn't read that part :) Toes are important. 9 just don't look right.

True. The dog in your avatar did not make it though. Is that chopped?
