Jack Safety (mountain peeps style)
There has been alot of controversy on jack safety, Kevin and I have spent countless hours researching this subject. Jacking points, balance and safety ratings Here are our conclusions:
1) Guinness cans, though very tough, do NOT hold up to there 3000lbs capacity as once thought.
2) Balancing objects on top of floor jack in order to increase lift height WORKS, although it stikes fear into the heart of poor b@stard who has to go under said car.
We have concluded that one 3000lb floor jack and 2 6000lb jack stands work better than any miscellaneous cr@p you may find laying around your yard or garage.
Any furher reasearch has been halting by spouse's...
We DO NOT recommend any you attempt or recreate any of the scientifical type stuff you have seen here!

I am really dissapointed in you Sean. You of all people should know that a can of Guiness does not have nearly the support capacity you need.
Now, had you broken out the Jagermeister you could have propped the whole garage up......

. Then tried to jack the car up using our cardboard image of Will. Which would have destroyed our wonderful decoration. He then would have slipped on some sort of concrete. The next thing you know, you would be sticking your hand up his tail pipe again!S
