Is that a sling wrapped around the a-arms and under the nose
![]() I wonder if they told the owner. Never...never take your car to the Midas shop for brakes. |

Thom is that you? If I known that you look like the Hulk I'd have been more polite!

I used to have pix of a 5-series BMW that was flipped sideways off of a lift. The mechanic was using a floor jack in conjunction with the shop lift, and went just a little too far...

Pix from Reno Air Races 2006. September Fury is not one of the largest-engined competitors, but at 3,350 cu. in. it must be a great ride!! Jim ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Bring's back memories of the days before I could afford a 911 - so I went the cheaper air cooled option - a 1962 beetle.
![]() The car was a hoot to drive and not much was original by the time I finished. ![]() Tim

This is no joke... fu@K, Sh!+, CR^P! DAMAGE!!!! First of all, I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to except stick around and watch. Dropped my Elise off to the local Goodyear shop to have new F1G3s installed. My Father-in-law is the service manager and has been for 10 years. He is out on medical leave, but he met me at the shop this morning, because he understands the uniqueness of the car. I handed them the tire tools and opened the Owner's Manual to the jacking instructions so they would be clear. We went over all the instructions and they assured me I was in good hands. We (my father-in-law and I both left) 1 hour later I get a call about the "accident" and that I needed to come down... WTF! The picture above is what I found... It get's better. They said they read the manual, but not to the point where it spoke about the 4-point lift. After the crash, they continued reading. Yipee for me. The damage is inclusive of the rear clam, front clam, underneath the driver's door, and a nice puncture through the bottom diffuser around the passenger seat area. More pics here... http://www.my914-6.com/crap |

Yeah... certain clams can be quite expensive.
Anyway, for the WDP crowd: ![]() (Although I think the car is newer than an SC.)
