dont trust the factory jack, no matter what its from... the one from our mazda scissorred under the xe, and it was under the rear!!!
thats why theyre called scissor jacks lol
always use a trolley jack, unless your on the side of the road of course...
having had a jack collapse while under a car is scary, thank god for the wheel i placed under the sill as precaution... otherwise id be a bit thinner...

Had to make a run for it, didn't want to finish up in the detention centre and end up back in a Bombay call centre.

Indeed. The crunching sound my XR8 makes when you jack it up, you pray that some part of plastic spoiler isn't going to fly off..

White Van Man is second on the list. Then Mobile Phone Girl.

Anyway, on topic - I wonder if some bunch of drunken bums just pushed it off the jack...
What about make up girl doing her lipstick in the mirror as she comes into your lane and forces you off the road this has happened to me twice I dont think they even notice what they have done
