To anyone who works on their car, Just something to think about Options

[ILuvMyCelica95]

I'm only writing this so people think twice before working on a car in haste.

On Friday a very close family friend was working on the u-joint of his truck. From what I understand the car was on ramps. The car rolled onto him killing him.

Not only did he lose his life but he has 2 daughters and his wife is 7 months pregnant with his first son.

All I am saying is think twice before you get under your car. MAKE SURE that everything is secure. I know I don't have to say any of this and I'm sure people are reading this thinking "That will never happen to me" or "I've been working on my car for years and this hasn't happened" This guy was always working on his car. He knew what he was doing. So it CAN happen.

I know I myself have done stupid things when I'm in a rush.


Note: Please do not make comments about how this was stupid or any negative ****. I am not in the mood for it and If I see it I will just have a mod delete it. Just be respectful; If you have nothing nice to say please don't say anything.

I've verry sorry to here about your friend tina, I wish the family and friends my very best in the difficult times ahead.

I have made some poor choices when working on cars as far as safty goes, although I'm far more wise about it now then I have been in the past. I could use this as an extra reminder I will deffanitly keep this in mind when working on my cars.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always avoid using the factory jack when lifing you car, I've had my stock celica jack collapse when in use and my friends stock ZX2 jack did the same. Its only intended for getting the car high enough to change the tire quick. not for supporting it while working underneeth.
