Well it finally happened to our baby. Friend put his leg out and back in but tooooo late. Not really to bad but burned none the less. AND this guy has had a few hotrods.

Wife doesn't know how to take clear pics.

The first thing I say to anyone getting out of the car is "Hot Pipes". I say this each and every time that someone else gets out of the car. When that fails (3 times)

I offer the use of aloe gel that we keep in the glove box. This minimizes the burn.

That is NOT a burn !!! Don't let your friend wimp out on that little mistake. Tell him to go and get a leaf from an aloe plant, they are everywhere and used for decoration, use the juice for three days and he won't even have a scar. Dave, I can't believe that you posted this !!! John

Yeah Yeah but this is all that happened. He was damn lucky that he felt it before he got really burned. Didn't even want to tell me. This is the first time I HAVEN'T told someone to watch the pipes. Even told him before he got in when the pipes were cold. I even tell my wife even tho she has been in it for a long time.

BTW happy B-day John

I agree; that's nothing. My left ankle looks worse than that now and I haven't even been in my Cobra since late Fall.
