[s-cars] Jack

[Theodore Chen]

the minimum height is is 10 3/8".  that's too high.

i like this:

solves the problem of having to find a place to put the jack stands after you've already used the lifting point to raise the car.  it's a problem on the B5.

Dear 
Old 
Retired 
Fart:

$100 
used 
to 
be 
a 
lot 
of 
money. 
Today 
it 
will 
fill 
your 
gas 
tank.

Harbor 
Freight, 
purvey 
of 
all 
things 
cheap 
and 
Chinese, 
has 
some 
selections. 
Here's 
a 
bottle 
jack 
for 
<$100. 
No 
guessing 
how 
many 
times 
it 
will 
work.

Google 
"air 
jacks" 
or 
"pneumatic 
jacks".
