Observe the decrepit, out of shape older guy jacking up his car for "just a moment" to check on the oil pan install.
Eh, won't need a jackstand for that, just be under there a moment...:
(Ed proceeds to slide under the car and takes note that the pan bolts need snugged up. He then goes to check on the shifter and the clutch adjustments...and the car proceeds to start sliding off the jack as the passenger front wheel begins to slide across the floor sideways!
Ed makes a hasty exit outta there, managing to bang his head on every available hard part on the way out... .
Fortunately, the car doesn't come all the way off the jack.
Even more fortunately, Ed breaks nothing other than his ego...).
Round 2:
Hello, jack stand under frame.
You'd think a fella would learn after a few decades, eh?
As you laugh mercilessly at my expense, I hope you've enjoyed your moment of zen.
