So my roommate decides he’s “Gna disappear for a day or 2” because he’s “gtn stressed.” That’s cool, doesn’t bother me one bit. Well I come home to his car in the driveway in front of my garage and he’s gone, cel phone is off, no keys to his car. He knew I needed to get my other corolla out of the garage and my bmw in so I could do the clutch. Now I’m fucked. :wtf: I need his car moved and I don’t know what the fuck to do. His hood is already smashed so if I could get it open I can just unhook the shifter linkage and put it in neutral but that doesn’t change the fact that I can’t steer it. Any suggestions? It’s a 1996 Taurus, if that helps. ![http://cavimike.com/WTFTAURUS.JPG](http://cavimike.com/WTFTAURUS.JPG) ---

jack the front end up and push it … a floor jack will work just fine …or just to get a set of “go jacks” put on tires move car and chage him for them also looking at the pic… is said car where you need to be? if so move 2 oth cars out and move said car over with the jack if you dont want it in the street. ---

I took the day off work just to work on my car and he shits on me. omfg do you want me to hold your hand to… i know you have to have a floor jack… put in under the front in the middle get the tires off the ground and push the dam car 20ft back this should not be a big issue get off line and get to work and its 11am and you took the whole day off you should have made this post at like 7:30 then i would have felt a lil sorry for you but half the day is gone ---

Just jack the front end up with a wheeled jack and roll it to the end of the driveway. Should give you enough room to get into/out of the garage. ---

Just push it into the street. Like, the middle. Know nothing when cops/tow truck comes to clear the street. ---
