Today is one of those days where I should not touch ANYTHING, yet I got on my computer anyway...I'm sure it will burst into flames any second now...
I got my new tires for my new wheels on Monday, took them to shop #1 who couldn't do them since they were "low profile." OK, took them to shop 2, dropped them off and picked them up this after noon. I get the front passenger side wheel on w/ no problems. I take the rear passenger wheel off and the car slips on the jack right in front of me. I check it out and get the new wheel on and now the car is perched on the jack and I'm going to need a new one.
I always check it when I'm jacking up the car and this is the side with the messed up side skirt thanks to the concrete at my parents house. I'm thinking that because I was using the "widowmaker*" from the car and the side skirt was messed up it caused the car to fall. So now I'll wait here until
ednemo gets home so I can use his jack to put the other two wheels on.
While my car is stuck in the air, I decide to put the old wheels away and other things I didn't need away. I start putting things in the shed and shut the door and the whole door jam comes out and the door almost comes down on the dogs and I. I got it perched just right and moved out of the way.
So now I'm going to sit on the couch and not touch anything...I think I'm safely out of the way of anything other heavy things falling on me here.
*widowmaker is the nickname for the horrible scissor jack that came w/ VWs.
