AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
<center><img src="http://images7.fotki.com/v105/photos/3/325109/1160433/pics041-vi.jpg?1094774839"></center><p>It's time to buy a new car. Iv'e had nothing but problems this last month since my warranty ran out. I was going to put my new shocks on tonight. I got the rear driver sode up on the factory jack and the car slid over and now I have a gash in the side skirt and in the rear door. I used a larger jack to lift the car off of the factory jack and I had to use rubber mallett to get the jack unstuck from the door. Damn I'm pissed!!!!!! I've never had a problem with a factory jack. It was level and everything. I've always been paranoid about this happening and always double check EVERYTHING. Now I've got to get it repaired before NOPI nationals next weekend. Crap. Sorry for the long rant. Had to vent somewhere.

correction to both of us.... a Jack alone is suicide for a shock install.
jack stand and jack and chocks for safety (if you value your well being).
Holy hell I've never thought somebody would attempt to install a shock dampener with the STOCK emergency jack... thats about as smart as smoking while filling the tank with petrol/gasoline (diesel is much harder to ignite).
