That sucks, i had a scare a couple nights ago. Will always double check jacking points/use back up support from now on. Jacked the car up a few inches forward of the jacking point, got it half up, and it came crashing down. Took a nice chuck of fiberglass out of the bottom of my drivers side fender. Thank god i wasnt underneath at the time. From now on i will be sure to pay more attention/use backup. ---
