Heck its a Bug,  How much good it weigh?    SC

I don't know exactly how it weighs, but I'd be willing to bet it's more than you can bench press!  I set a 62 Corvair up on 12" concrete blocks once and worked under it for over an hour.  I crawled out and leaned against the side of it and one block cracked . . . the car shifted slightly, and half a second later the blocks had all busted and the entire back end was buried in the dirt.  Since then, I won't get under a car unless it's sitting solid on good jack stands.  I try to shake it off the stands and if nothing will give, I slide the tires I have off of it under the frame to catch it before it gets all the way to the ground if it did fall for some reason . . . and if possible, I put a jack under it and raise it up until it just touches the frame.

At least once a year, you'll see something on the local news or in the local paper about someone dieing when a car falls on them.  This is one subject you gott'a take serious.   :!:

Working on cars is very dangerous I don't do it but I have seen people do it numerous time and have made the oooooh sound more than once. So SC buy a jack for Stupie because I really enjoy reading the on going saga of Stupie and I am afraid if something happens to you the story's will end. No one can work on Stupie like you do :lol: So BUY A JACK :evil:

I just refreshed my brain on the picture.  The red barrel we were talking about really is metal car ramp,  crazy camera angle.  SC

Just now figuring that one out?....

You need to check the "help with slow starter" thread....it's practically legendary now.... :lol:

i have to worry more of cars floating off the ground.  I tried to pull the roof out on my rolled subaru .  so I was wrenchin the roof up from an overhead tree limb.  It was so hard to crank after a while I kind of forgot what was going on.  I lifted the car off the ground and it smushed me against a old oak tree.   I had to thow those fruit of the looms away that time.  SC

You ain't right....

i'VE GOT ENOUGH STUPID STORIES, to go at least 2 seasons.  With Zens help we could beat Seinfeld's   run.  

Just  another story from my recent trip the Fla.   Near my Dads place, there is tire store  called Tito's,  Run by Tito
He is  a Latino dude from Texas.  sort of a low rider fella.  .  real cool.  I was saving a  leaky tire  in my Acura for him to fix since a LaFayette place   said it was not leaking. .  So I'm driving to Fla filling up the  tire at every rest area.     He dunks the tire in a bathtub,  can't find the leak and looks at me,  I say "Tito that tire won't hold air"  He say some color full things in Spanish and puts the tire in the bead breaker and pops it off the rim.   Finds a little snub of a nail and patches the tire from the inside.  I got to drive 430  miles to fix a tire.

So here is the story that sort of relates.  A second guy pulls up and he has big 20inch rim that he wants to check it will fit his truck before he buys the set.  I did not ask were he got it.   Tito can appreciate  wheels, so he jacks the pickup up to change the wheel.  It will fit!.
 While he is taking the new wheel off,  the truck starts shifting off the jack.  Most folks would just back away and let the truck fall.   Tito drops the tire he removed and sticks the original on lugs before it falls.    Holy Crap, He laughs saying that he did not think he was going to stick it.
