Once I wired a coil backwards. Couldn't figure out why the car wouldn't start. After several tries, I replaced the coil but a bunch of gas had pooled in the intake from unsuccessful starting attempts. Gas + ignition = huge backfire through the intake. It blew all of the floats in my carb (yeah...this was a while back).My mechanic/friend Mike was standing right over the engine when it popped, too. I jumped out and started saying shit like "holy fuck...are you alright?". He just looked at me like I was a moron and said "why'd you stop crankin' it?".
Oh...and don't ever let your girlfriend near your car with it on a jack. My ex almost killed me when she bumped into my jack while I was under the car.
