Car fell off jack
I know why they invented jackstands. I had the car jacked up using both jacks, now both are destroyed. At least I was not underneath it. I was just swapping tires over to the SSEi, the good part is the SSEi handles great now. The bad part is I have no jacks.

I konw these are going to seem like a stupid questions but..................
Why didn't you have a piece of wood under the jack to keep it from sinking onto the ground?? When the car was up in the air,where were the jackstands????

that sucks.. how are you going to lift it now to get a wheel back on it? I dont' trust the jacks that come with our cars.. On my old 88 Lesabre I used the jack that came with the car once and won't ever use one again once it gave out after one of the supports BENT allowing the car to fall (onto a jack stand.)

i think i vaguely remember there being some thread about jackstands and their importance...and I remember you posting there...also confirming how important they are..hmm..who are you and what have you done with Hans?
