same way with me.. i rarely wear it, i work oil field and thats just a no no because im around alot of spooling wire and pulleys, my dad nearly lost his finger in the same work years ago..i work on my truck and race car and always pidlin with stuff. id rather keep my finger than wear that ring. a little electric accident a while back had my race car on fire and my starter kept running. i have an ignition swtch and a starter button that anytime when pressed turns the motor over. i still dont what caused the starter to keep on going, but my batter cable that goes thru the firewall from my starter solenoid rubbed thru the grommet and ended up grounding out as i was running the valves, causing the starter to stay engaged. ended up catchin the paint, grommet and the whole battery cable on fire..

When I first bought the WarWagon it had wires running everywhere in it and I had no clue where they went or what they did. I was driving along one afternoon and smelled smoke so I pulled over real quick and jumped out. That is when I saw what was formerly a blue wire running across the carpet that was shorted out and smoking. I didn’t have an extinguisher and the carpet was getting scary so I grabbed it bare handed and snatched it out. Thing was glowing red (nighttime event) and it cut and cauterized the hand all at once. For a long time I had a scar from the bottom left to the right top of my left palm.

Never did figure out what the wire was for. Nothing seemed to stop working.

My hand now makes the old pictures look nice. The skin has begun sinking in and pulling apart.

I have to keep it wrapped so the skin doesnt fall off and start bleeding all over everything.

Local hospital is a complete joke. I mean after all, I would like to keep my finger. Everytime I have gone, they have done something extremely major wrong.

Next closest is an hour, and I just don't wanna go.

My ring finger is looking much better now. The fingers to each side are still bleeding and oozing some nasty stuff. I have a dead pain like a nerve is cut, anyone who has ever cut a never knows what I mean. All 3 fingers feel as though circulation is cut off to them, but they all have good color and have normal temperature. Enjoy
