Not in this weather!

Ah... but his welder is safely out of the way.

Priorities....

I'm sorry, I just saw your username and had to post this:



But yes, what an idiot! Unfortunately it's so true - I see people like that all the time, and you really do wonder how long it's going to be until they make it into the Darwin Awards.

That guy will be fine, It's the unsuspecting passerby or the poor owners of anything he works on that will get hurt. But if it did fall on him while he's sitting like that He could kiss his own butt.

Double jackstands, wheels blocked. What's the problem?

Considering that the truck is very well balanced at that angle, the amount of weight actually bearing down on the supports is minimal.

I'm just curious how he got it up there.

^ 5 or 10 friends. Just like how the football fans in UK would push over cars.

Probably patching the gas tank.

That pic predates the current IED trend. Also notice the non-sand-colored building and greenery. He ain't in Iraq or Afghanistan!

This guy that I work with works on his car at work a lot. He has a Mitsubishi Eclipse, so to get to anything he usually removes one of the front wheels and jacks it up. He then crawls under there, with an autozone jackstand protecting his life. Others that work with us have given him jackstands, and once the car fell while he was working from the topside (new rotor). How stupid can you get?

He's inserting an IUD to keep the truck from reproducing.

He's simply welding up a leaky fuel line.
