Public Service Announcement/Mechanic's Worst Nightmare

Remember reading this when it was announced he was in the hospital and hoping he’d pull through. Very sad and hits us in the s2k community hard. :frowning:

RIP :frowning: I always make sure to shake the car violently before gettin under

That sucks…Well, looks like I won’t be selling my cheap rims.

hmmmmmm , just the other night i was under paulie,s vette with just a harbour frieght jack holdin it up lololol

Not a good idea bro, I’ve been tempted to do it too, but I’ve had friends die from it before. Trust me, they fall faster than you can even imagine, I’ve seen it first hand:Idiots:(

damnit meatpaws.

oh i know …

I usually take some STi Brembo rotors to prop my car up at all 4 corners when I am working under it.

It’s really a shame Travis wasn’t under the car when it fell.

Plus rep. :rofl

o wow :frowning:

Joe Jiggs just uses the jack, no jack stands. If the car landed on him, he would just bench-press it the fuck off.

then do a motor swap while holding it up

with the front end tied up to a beam

wow, RIP. Things can all change in the blink of an eye…

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.

dude you’re killin me. the hockey pucks only fit in one spot meatball!!!

:facepalm

this i know, what can ya do? make mistakes and you learn.

i got a new fender on the way. hopefully paint matches well and i WONT make a mistake like that again!

lol did you have the lights on too??? :lol
