It's already been arranged on who will be buying those when they do go on sale...
even if the buyer has to dip into their watch fund..

I kid, I kid. Those will look sweet with your Z. Congrats when it's offical.

So, Im working on my car (height adjustment) - taking advantage of the not so rainy day... As Im lifting the car, my floor jack decides to die on me ...
I do a quick search online... I find one that some members are using and happy with... Luck me "Harbor Freight" is a few miles from me ... So, I head over there and get one...
Wow, cheaper than the advertised online price ... Price, $75.00 + 2 years replacement warranty + tax = $110.00 (actually a few pennies shy)...
Ive never had to discard a floor jack before. Question is, do I just put the old jack in the garbage? Or, should I just "find a dumpster" to put it in?

It's metal or more so, aluminum. Just put it in your recycle bin for pick-up. Let them do what they want with it 
I have one of those too but it's anodized red.

Who was it that wanted to swap around wheels last wed for maybe next GTG?
I can bring mine to help out if that's the plan for next meet.

Oh yeah, eventhough its not a "rapid lift" jack - it lifts the car up in about 4-5 full pumps.
Next, I need some new jack stands to match the new jack.

Hey can we swap your TT to mine for a night?

Mine has the rubber pad like yours, but has those metal tabs on the sides that would still touch my paint underneath my skirts.
I have to use a piece of carpet to protect my paint when lifting.

More information can be found here... A little on the expensive side but a neat little device...
