Broke the a/c condenser, power steering Len, radiator line, and the top radiator mounts. $800 to fix it all and jack is busted. Sunday at 11:00pm - flat tire. Take it to be fixed Today and the hole is in the sidewall, so,it's unfixable. I had to buy a new tire. The capper is on the way home today I GOT REAR ENDED!!!!!! I need to fix my karma or something.  |
Dude that sucks, I'm so sorry. I just used jack stands for the first time last Thursday to paint my calipers, I was so nervous. I jacked the car up and positioned the stands to the points as quickly as I could because I was afraid of that happening, and everyone said I was being a baby. Case in point- it does happen. Best of luck to you, it sounds like you need it.
