glad to hear you are okay, Pat. Let's all remember to be careful out there.
damn pat,... when I was a kid cars had bumper jacks, they fit into a slot in the chrome metal bumper & jacked the whole car up from there... well one day I tried to change rear leaf springs on an old rotted out ford falcon I had, had the car up in the air hanging for hours on just the bumper jack with me under the car tugging & beating away at hopelessly rusted spring shackles. I finally gave up as it got dark out & as I sit there back out from under the car thinking about putting the wheel back on, the car just fell to the ground... rotted bumper bracket couldn't hold the car anymore & she just ripped apart... you learn from your mistakes, hopefully you don't die from them though... be safe man.
I leave my car on the floor jacks and put floor stands for back up. That always scared the crap out of me when I was under a wheel or something.
are you guys having problems with bugs man? my black grille gets splattered with bugs all the time and in less than 2 days it looks like i never cleaned it, i am tired of cleaning it...Am I being targeted or what?

maybe?????? alot of freeway driving?
nope, 13 miles a day only, max speed is 50 mph. inside the city, lots of trees.
I do the opposite, haha. Usually put it on two jack stands and then leave the jack with a little bit of tension. If anything, it makes it quicker to jack it back up when I'm done.
Fixed.
I drop mine on the stands and then genuinely try to rock the car back and forth. If it moves even a little, I repeat the process. When it's solid as a rock, I crawl under. Ramps are a also a good investment for things that don't require wheel removal.
