Message	I have a friend and he had his car on ramps, can't remember what he said it was... anyway, he was changing the driveshaft or spiders or somehting. He was laying perpendicular to the car under it and undid the bolts on the rear yoke and pulled out DS. All of a sudden car started rolling down ramps before he could move. He said the car rolled down and bottomed out the floorpan on his chest, knocking the wind out of him and denting the floorpan up slightly. VERY lucky for him it was only the sheetmetal pan and not a stiffener or a frame rail or he would have broken ribs at least, of it could have killed him. Was really dumb of him not to have the handbrake on and the rear wheels choked. PLEASE guys, be careful working under the car, eh? Mike Yeah, I know mine's an N/A! :-) AIM name: my91z MSN name: my91z
