The saddest part of this story is not having to pander to automotively illiterate neighbors by being overly cautious. The sad part of this story is that you're having to protect the "kids" who are growing up without the benefit of common sense lessons like "How to Recognize Jacked Up Cars and The Dangers Involved Therewith"

It's depressing that we have to be so "correct" in things to protect people from not being taught more responsibility.

I'm not saying I think accident prevention is a bad thing. But I strongly feel that part of accident prevention is instilling some common sense and practicality, no matter what the environment is. The truth is, some of these kids who are being sheltered from the real world are now, just barely, the kids of individuals who were likewise sheltered.
