So the air suspension compressor burnt out in my 2004 Cadillac Deville. Instead of replacing the compressor I decided to replace the air shocks with standard spring ones.
New parts get here and I go out to do the installation myself.
Long story short make sure you have a jack supporting the rear frame of the car as well as the side.
As soon as I popped the bottom shock bolts the rear frame pinned my hand into the grass so fast I had no time to react.
Now I have a bolt sized hole in my left index finger.
Finished the job and it looks great.
Now instead of sag I got some lift and I actually like it.
Feel free to share your dumbass self repair injury stories while practicing our favorite hobby.

Still not sure if I should go and get stitches.
Probably won't.
The stitches would cost as much as the damn shocks.

replaced the fuse and the light started working again
