I Finally Bit the Bullet #10875055 01/17/16 Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,826 Likes: 16 Either Texas or Idaho E EdM OP Campfire 'Bwana OP EdM Campfire 'Bwana E Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 33,826 Likes: 16 Either Texas or Idaho Tired of rolling around under my vehicles so I bought the lift I had queried about a year or so ago. First oil change completed on my son's Honda. Next up an oil change on the roadster then detailing the Mustang underside. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Does it have a wood stove and wet bar tho? Geno PS, if I had one of those I might still work on our vehicles more often.

I've been stewing about a two post so I can pull the wheels off and do break work etc. Still looking for the right deal. @jameslavish If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference. This is inflation
