Climbed out of mine last Tuesday, thought I pulled a muscle but in fact tore my colon open.

Going home tomorrow

I normally try to avoid short startups so was wondering if you were doing the same thing.
I have to start the car and drive it out of my garage due to the slope of my driveway. I also try to avoid short startups, which was one of the reasons I just left it outside for a couple days until I could get around to washing it rather than moving it in and out of the garage several times.

Holy crap! Wishing you a speedy recovery! My hernia scars have nothing on that!

Funny you say that - as I was thinking it was only a pull d muscle, I went into the office and rowed for twenty minutes, trying to work it out.

You should have seen the expression through the surgeons mask as I was explaining this, she was horrified. Why, I ask... Because you basically pumped **** through you abdomen for twenty minutes, She said.

Oh. Was then rushed to surgery...

Everytime I drive my Turbo I try to drive it at least 20-30 minutes without shutting off the engine (after the first (or only) start of the day.)

If I'm going to wash my Turbo I'll do a 20-30 minute drive if it hasn't been started and driven that day.
