Yew gonna die, boy! (a.k.a. redneck city)
<<Also, don't use cinder blocks or cement blocks as jack stands as per redneck
city. these blocks can crumble to dust with no warning - I've seen it
happen!>>
Actually, the problem is not the use of the cinder blocks, but the
orientation of said cinder blocks. They are designed for stress parallel to
the holes (apertures for you city folk). But you typically see people parking
cars on the flat sides. That's why they crumble, because they're being used
incorrectly.
So, those of you who are in places like Bucksnort, make sure to turn the
cinder blocks properly before pulling the wheels and storing it in the front
yard. DO NOT rest the car on the flat sides.....
Later.
