This Mitsubishi hit my 4600lb Land Rover last year in a 35mph zone. It picked it up and threw it 70ft and spun it 180 degrees. My legs sheared the steering column off the firewall and ribs broke the console off the floor. Engine was sitting on the drivers side wheel and firewall. Seatbelts...

I was speaking with somebody yesterday who is familiar with my detailing work. He was unaware of the other things that I do. So I started thinking. What is it that everybody else does here beside sharing the passion of detailing?
I guess I'll start. I was a quality assurance engineer with ISO...
