I wish I had a pick of the "lift" I saw a guy using.  He was working on the front part of the car under the engine area.  The front bumper was on the ground to prevent it from sliding...bumper attached to car.  The rear was raised up about 4 ft off the ground with a forklift.

That's not backyard engineering, that's adaptive engineering.

I like the trail of fluids from underneath, as the Mustang is simply marking its territory.

As for Randy, why lay with the small of your back across the curb?  That musta really hurt!
