Damn, that is a terrible way to go . RIP.

I usually jack up the car put stands under it . As well as leaving the jack to support most of the weight .

This kind of thing is partly a reason why I want a lift. If my audi falls on me, there wont be much of me left to put on life support.

That’s pretty shitty, I’ve had them shift forward while next to them, but never underneath…

It’s unfortunate that some people maybe very intelligent, but have no common sense.
