Re: Jackstands, Please Use Them
I can't believe the number of people I've seen in the last 2 trips to the track either working under cars on a jack or warming them up in gear on just a hydraulic jack. Scares me and I'm reasonably fearless.

Re: Jackstands, Please Use Them
B.S.!!! These pictures show very well that jackstands are just an annoyance and take too much time and effort to perform simple maintenance procedures. Bunch of pu$$ies.

Re: Jackstands, Please Use Them
And be sure to use GOOD jackstands.. I recieved some cheapies for christmas and later on that next spring I was in the shop I rented with some other guys by myself.. Had my car jacked up tires off and was using those new jackstands.. I got from under the car to go get a wrench I forgot and about 3 seconds after I got clear the car fell all the way to the ground, one of the welds on the jackstands failed and it just rolled over to the side.. The garage floor was perfectly flat concrete with no imperfections.. I would have died for sure because I was by myself and no one knew I was there... from that day on I use oversized jackstands and I am still "leary" of getting under a car sometimes....
