I've known one person who's died from having a car fall on them, I've almost had my jeep fall on me myself and I've had high lifts fall over or jack stands fail. I'm lucky, others aren't. I'd agree with R Leo, I'm not saying the poster doesn't know how to properly support a car, but if people are saying "oh just kick it" and it's not supported well the car could easilly fall on the person.

I too, have had properly supported cars shift and fall, jacks fail, and have known people injured when cars have fallen...I myself have remained fortunate in that I have never been injured.

When a changing tire thread gets to page 5 it is a slow day.

Come on the wheel was stuck on and he didn't want to break anything so he thought he would ask before forcing it.

Where you been?

Wednesday and Thursday were the slow days for changing tires.

I was working and writing an eco paper.

I am pretty angry right about now because my 2 page well written eco paper got a 0 because the professor didn't think it was on topic. ^(*^*(^*( I followed the *(^*&^*& outline you gave us. God forbid a write a good paper with a few new ideas maybe I should have just puked up the ones you wanted me to.

She thought it was on marketing and not economics, wtf we were doing a study on what parking spaces would cost the most if they had prices on them. I put forth some very good ideas on how a store could make the most money by pricing them.

Then I bit my tongue an asked if I could give it another try nope you get a 0, better luck next time.

As the a hole in the seat next to me didn't hand it in at all, ohh he can give it to her Monday for full credit.

Sorry for the highjack I just needed to vent, off to wash the salt off my SDL.
