Well I hope he has a good medical insurance and life insurance! This is a bad accident waiting to happen and it's not going to be funny matter when it does. Gee, this doesn't even qualify as a backyard mechanic.

What are people thinking when they do this??? I took my stock exhaust off and put my Stingers on and didnt have to have my car anywhere near that far off the ground. I just had the back wheels barely off the ground and a jack stand on each side. WTF? Do people not think before they do things like that???

Why are the exhaust tips different from the left to right?

EXACTLY! Even if he didn't have enough stuff to pile up I wouldn't risk my life instead of buying another $5 worth of wood. Tell him next time to be more careful. Hell I'll paypal him $5 for some wood lol.

It's just fine, as long as you have a death wish. Some people don't get second chances to do stupid crap like in those pics.
