Not on a bet.

She came along for the ride last week as I was "setting up" for this 
weekend and all she did from the time we got there until we left was 
complain, and after we did leave the only thing she wanted to do was 
go to the mall.

Humm...    this one eats anything not tied to the shelf and talks too 
much and knows everything.

Heh...  just wait until she wants a car.

If that car had been within a day's drive it would be in the barn 
now.   ...after it had gotten a bath.

Re:

4-post lift...?


I need  one of them.    Hell, I'd be satisfied with a drive-on 
"tilt-a-car" type service ramp thingy.   Been considering putting 
something like that together...  just drive up on it and have about 
24" of crawl space under the car to work with, "creeper" around 
underneath etc.    Could even make it "breakable" so it could be 
quickly disassembled and carried around in the pickup etc. if need 
be.     I'm all the time needing to get underneath something or other 
to do stuff, might as well have something on hand to make it 
easier.     I sometimes enjoy cooking up stuff like this, give me an 
excuse to play with the mig welder.
