so true and be careful when jacking your car up on a concrete waffle slab too

poor bloke ive seen so many ppl do that. had a bumch down the road shaking a car while to were under neath trying to get the fuel lines of... using a scissor jack wtf.

and out of all places at the workshop... assuming u wouldve had the tools there, gd find VXCommie, dont skimp on the tools peeps, jack stands can be had for $50 new and could easily save ur life whether its for 2 mins or 30 mins ur laying under that car..

Stands and if I have a wheel off then it goes under the sill as well. Worst case you get broken ribs.. atleast your still alive.

I sell Jack stands at work from $39.95 a pair!!! I guess in some peoples eyes its too much to pay for safety.

Im sure anybody with common sense would already know this. I am also sure that people who do not already use jack stands will unfortunately not begin to use them just because of this thread. I just hope everybody already uses common sense when playing around with vehicles. Great chance to put another advertisement up for your shop Arie Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Some how using this article as an example to generate more sales, the "do gooders" out there would have something to say.. But I do get your point there Safety first, but not after I check whether my life is valued more than my wallet! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
