Message	I really dodged a bullet tonight. Going to buy some lotto tickets in a few minutes. Cliffs notes, I was lowering the car off the jackstands. I unwittingly put one side on the factory jack, and was lowering the otherside with a floor jack. The factory jack bent and snapped before I went back to it to lower that side. The moral of the story is use two floor jacks together with a helper instead of trying to do it alone with a factory jack and a floor jack going back and forth between the two. The MANtage....be a real man search said you suck (n/m) - Wilks. 01:38:02 09/06/06
