easy things to do while injured.
So about three weeks ago I broke my ankle. I had surgery and I'm on a no weight bearing basis for the next three weeks. Do any of you know any things to do on our cars that would be easy on my ankle? I don't mind getting under the car because my buddies can throw a jack under it and put some stands there. I'm cool with any kind of mod. Thanks for the help.

98+ Rear taillights look better than the "grid" design from 93-97.
I got mine for my 94 TA when the 98 cars came out.
Wash,claybar and wax is good as well.
What performance mods are done to the car?
How much do you want to spend?2010 Camaro SIM 2SS/RS A6

I've got a cold air and a cat back. Probably looking to spend around 100$ at most right now. And I also just blacked the tail lights so I'm gonna keep those for a while. I've been looking for the 98+ for a while just can't find the right price.

i swear I broke my ankle about 25 yrs ago.
Painful as hell and swollen; holy cow did my leg and ankle and foot swell up.
had to keep it elevated.
still bothers me to this day.
Take your wheels off and give them a good polishing front and back. detail the fender wells out along with calipers etc. your buddies can get the wheels off for you and the car on stands would make this an ideal thing to do.
Then detail door jambs etc .
lots of work that will make your ride look really nice.
good luck and feel free to come to my house to detail my cars. I'll bu7y all the booze you want to drink.

I had 6 screws and a plate. The doc said three more weeks from now until I can start weight bearing again.

Pop a couple of pain killers (as perscribed lol) then....
Have a buddy jack her up and put her on stands (be safe) and then "go over it with a fine tooth comb"..
Look for things like leaks, torn boots, broken end links and so forth..
Reutine service the engine, plugs, wires, change the oil, etc.
