Never ever push your car alone!

[Dude13450]

Don's ever attempt to push your car alone! I know you're probably thinking "I would never do that," but we all think stupid thoughts and do stupid s*!$ right?! Anyways, I thought I could push my little 86 Civic (3rd Gen) that supposedly only weighs about 1808lbs, since i once pushed a little 1-1.5 ton VW Jetta with a full-sized grown man inside of it to control the clutch and shifter, but guess what? I tried pushing it like 3ft at a VERY slight raise (like only 1/2-1in) and I ended up twisting my knee at a 45 degree angle towards my other knee (NOT THE WAY A KNEE SHOULD BEND!!) and ended up straining the lateral tendon in my knee, and possibly tore some cartilage, but won't know for sure unless I'm not fine by next week (if not, I need to see my physician for an MRI).

If you hurt trying to do what I tried doing, don't come at me because you're hurt. What happened to me could be worse for you, just don't do it!!! Have good day/night.

i did this with my civic yesterday to see if i could, by myself, push it to a down hill incline(which required me to push 2400 pounds of honda up a heavy uphill incline. When i hit the peak of the hill, i sat in the car and pushed off with my left foot. then slammed into 2nd gear and popped the clutch sure enough my car started without using the starter

I push my car alone all the time, and pull up from the fender to put the jack under when I'm on my block of wood and I've never gotten hurt. AND I'm a girl.

sorry you got hurt buddy....


when my starter broke i had to push my car up to a decent speed, then run up to the driver's door to jump in and pop the clutch before the car slowed down too much.... fun times lol

should have pushed it down hill, would have avoided this problem.

And ended up not being able to catch his car and risk it crashing into something? Or someone?

Yeah let's go ahead and push my car forward into a ton of f***ing boulders cuz I would want to do that instead of pushing it slightly up hill, so I could've tried steering it away from them afterwards if I didn't end up hurting my self.

As for the rest of you saying "pics or it didn't happen" the knee itself isn't visibly damaged, just some swelling and pain. I was prescribed some generic version of Hydros (bottle says generic for >Hydroco/APAP) to help deal with the pain. I hope you can see the size distinction between my two knees:
