Just a friendly reminder to always use jack stands under your car(when not on a lift), and you intend to work underneath it. A local kid was just killed when his jack slid over on its side and crushed him. Never a good idea to cut corners on safety, even though we often find our selves in positions where it might be quicker/cheaper to do so.

In some cases though it represents real savings over time.

Yeah. But your partying levels go way down once you die.

I passed a car a few months ago that was resting on the remains of a few collapsed cement blocks.
