If so, can I ask where you got them?

I don't have them, but I would assume yes. since that is there intended purpose. I need to get a set, or a set of jack stands tho myself

Understood...but...experience has taught me that many products don't work well for their intended purpose. Jacks/lifts/ramps are things that I want to be POSITIVE are up to the task prior to using them....as I don't wanna get killed in a wicked stupid manner....like having a car roll/fall onto me while I change the oil.

( Click to show/hide )

So in other news, my washing machine is messing up and floods water in the garage. Has that stopped the MIL from using it? Hell no. She has flooded my garage (and any tools on the floor) twice now, after I told her to not use it. So she called me yesterday saying "the washer flooded the garage again, do I have your permission to move a few things around so I can get all the water?" I told her yes as long as she PROMISED NOT TO THROW ANYTHING AWAY. For those of you who don't know, her idea of cleaning/organizing is to throw everything away. For this reason I have banned her from the garage unless she is doing laundry. Well, I come home from work yesterday and start doing stuff around the house. My neighbor texts me an hour or two later simply saying "I'm sorry". Weird. I wonder what that means...? So I ask what he's talking about and he replies "have you not seen your garage yet?". So I go out to the garage and lo and behold, she has rearranged the whole thing. Tools are missing. She has throw my bike away, the one that I just payed $110 to fix and rode again 3 days ago. Two cabinets are now sitting on the side of the road because she says they have water damage. The reality is that the bottoms got wet and the particle board bubbled some, but it was completely repairable. Not any more though, she broke them into 9 different pieces dragging them to the road (particle board all over the driveway now btw) and then dumping them on their side.

This is the last straw for me. I'm going to wait until she goes to work, and I'm going to rearrange her whole room. Bed against the closet, dresser in the back yard, her makeup and hair products and all that are going in on of her clothes drawers and her clothes are going in the bathroom, maybe some in the toilet, and whatever else I can think of. I will probably throw some of her things away too. If it all works out right, I'm going to record the whole process and her reaction with my new gopro :) this is probably going to create a huge problem, and the wife will come back from her cruise to find hell on earth, and then she'll side with her mom saying I'm overreacting, but I really don't give a rats ***. I'm sick of her mom not being able to listen to a simple request or honor her own ******* promises. She has to learn one way or another that there are certain things she's not allowed to do.


Who knows, maybe I'll get really lucky and she will get so mad that she moves out. :bowrofl:

Another long day lies ahead for yours truly -- a 127 mile drive to an all-day onsite session with a client and then a joy-filled return trip in happy Bay Area Friday traffic. Nissan Versa is the rental du jour. My butt already hurts just writing this.

Have a great day and pray for me.

Hello Mr.onzedge... :tiphat:

That may be part of it. Even though I'm extremely pissed off at her I still don't want to cause material loss for her. The only thing that's holding me back is that she's not TRYING to do this stuff to be mean, she just thinks she's helping. She can't get it through her thick skull that she's throwing away other people's property, she just sees it as she's helping me get rid of trash or something, idk. I'm at my wit's end.

Race ramps. /endthread

I'll try to remember to take a picture of mine when/if I do an oil change later today.

Yes they do -- they are Rhino ramps with my fancy 2X10 helpers -- total cost was about 60 dollars. 6,000 lb capacity.
