Why NOT to use scissor jacks when painting your wheels pink. *TRAVIS CONTENT*

hmmm…no?

oops -1 for adam lol

Sticky? Battlefield? It’s got a shot!

so back on topic here… travis, moron… continue. :lol

wow, my car has been on $13 harbor freight stands since december with no problems what so ever. That is a pretty big fail.

jesus dude that sucks :idiots and how come nobody sent me pics what the fuck!

my bet is somebody leaned on it

still though but to trut a scissor jack is preety stupid

possibly but it looks like that one jack completely buckled

it would take a little gust of wind o knock that thing over, they are unstable as fuck.

Words cannot express how awesome this is.

this is what i just sent celtic1982citlec in a IM:

underside of car is 100% fine… the rear backing plate was a lil effed up but i straightened it… only $ im out is the cost of 2 scissor jacks and a lil pride… i fucked up… i dont even know how it fell… everything was sturdy… i shook the car a lil myself after i put it up and it didnt budge… checked the jacks, and they were fine… i walk away for 3 minutes and the gf comes to tell me it fell… i was like WTF?

the car is fine, the paint is JUST starting to be applied as i JUST finished taping the rims off… i came inside to get some oxygen… im spraying them in my shed and ventilation is non-existant. the silver is drying on all of them and one of them has the front sprayed pink already and looks AWESOME.

my thoughts as far as what some of you think on the color choice FUCK YOU its not your car, you dont pay for it, and once you do then you can make the decisions of what i do with it, but the fact of the matter is i chose to go this route and i like how the rims are going to turn out. …now as i know it will continue, back to your regularly scheduled bashing.

[22:30] FreshE112B: yeah that was an oops

Understatement of the year :crackup :crackup :crackup

maybe if you didnt pay $600 a month you could afford $60 worth of jack stands.

i’m almost cretifiably mechanically retarded, and i’ve never jacked my car up one even just one side and NOT put a jack stand under it. and it weights 2200lbs… i think you sat in those paint fumes a bit to long. :crackup

entirely possible… :confused

yo got a pic of the rims?

dammit, wasnt hoping for that answer

goddammit swifty, you beat me to it

I think we are all missing the point. You are EXTREMELY lucky that that didn’t happen while you were in the process of taking the rims off of the car. You could have been seriously hurt, disabled, dead, etc.
