That looked crazy scary to me. Why on earth did he jack up one side at a time? Thank god he's ok, but he should have never put wood "sliders" ontop those stands and then lifted the other side off the ground. I actually have no idea how it didn't fall.

Next time have him jack up each axle separately. Even if he had to do the back, then turn the car around to do the front....

That still scares the hell out of me looking at those pictures.

And what's up with the juicy spot in his sweats?

Great Pics

I was successful using one of the Zaino Clay Bars for my Rims and Rotors. It took off all the scuffs from the rims and all the rust from the rotors without too much effort. And, it did not harm the chrome and left the rotors looking great.

Probably scared as s!!! get it up that way.... The C3 was a lot easier... Just jack up on the middle frame bracket for one side then then do the other side..... C5 a little more difficulit....

I won't say I sat in beer cause that would be Alcohol Abuse......

If I had a long reach low profile jack yea that wou;d be the way to do it.... But I only have short reach low prfile jack. So I just jacketed it up on the front jack point to get the rear jack stand in and the front one. The reason for the wood it to speard the load across the front member. I then went to the other side on the front jack point and go the other front jack stand in place. The get the jacked under the rear for the last rear jack stand....
