    For someone like us who isn't a complete goof it'd be alright, but I mean I know people who are the 'car-stupid' They'd put on 2 nuts right next to each other and try doing doughnuts.

    I'd just be very risky telling someone who is likely to win a Darwin award during their life to try it, thats all.

    wish this thread was here 4 days ago!! lol. took me two hours to swap my wheels cuz my back tyres were stuck... i was pretty paranoid about the car coming off the jacks, even though i have two on at the time. (bought a hydraulic jack)..
