Was it me?





My hobbies are eating junk food, hoarding, net surfing, and gambling. On occasion- to be nominally useful- I fix things for people. And open really tight jar lids.

P.S. That ramp was REALLY nice to work under! That is a carpet runner there to lay on and it was the perfect height. Had to be very careful putting the car on and off it! That's my '84 getting a brand-new cat-back exhaust system.

The Ford Festiva, a way better car than that Ford Fiesta!

Frank Lee, I had not seen your setup; what comments have you received? I cannot find the thread now, but it looked like he laid a log across his driveway and propped up boards on it--hopefully securely attached. I forget what modification he showed us, we seemed more interested in his "lift!"
