oh, man, too many. the cold snap hit the night i glassed the hole in the driver side floorpan of the 1972 datsun 1200 2 door sedan. the battery terminals made contact with the hood on the 1970 datsun 1600 franken-roadster, resulting in an impressive explosion and the subsequent application of a lot of baking soda and a new battery. the 1983 rabbit gti rolled down the hill and smacked a tree dead front center moments after i removed the front bumper. The 1988 scirocco (redacted). the porsche engine fell off the jackstand when i was cramming it into the vw bus. the 2011 prius zzzzt (redacted). did i type all that out loud? is there a toolset buyback program?
Trying to pre-plan some tool purchases for working on the 4runner
and bought 3 ton jack stands and using my old 1980 floor jack.........
Jack barely gets the tires off the ground and the stands are to short...
Some wood saved the day.......
Said "oh shit......oh shit.......oh shit" about 15 times after realizing i escaped death when my jeep fell off the jack stands and I rolled out from under just in the nick of time.
I just had this happen checking front brakes on my sister's minivan. I didn't chock the rear wheels. Rolled back and off the stands. Just from being stupid and forgetting 1 step.
