dear jack
the stock jacks are great for changing a flat tire and that is what they are
designed for --
i have three bottle jacks in my van --
picked them all up at garage sales for a couple of $ each --
they work great and have already proved useful in a repair situation on a
broken down 65 mustang --

the high lift bumper jack all design is great for getting one's a$$ out out
of the well on the sabbath
but to actually work on your van you need bottle Jacks or a hydraulic floor
jack or a hoist
and with the jacks it is a very good idea to have jack stands ---
or at the very least wheel ramps

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
