Lifting a Car

You're not trying hard enough ;-)

Well they don't really generate enough grip to fall over. Sliding about is easy though.

Steel floor, type9, Zetec and built on the cheap. It's light enough ;)

Iron all the way through, it could only be heavier if it was cast from depleted uranium :)

Spookily similar to me, only I lifted the body off a Transit pickup :(

Oh I often see cars just "falling" on people! Some cars are easier than others to lift, it depends on weight distribution. Get your local crack or amphetamine user from a local estate to show you.

As luck would have it you are never one of these people.

We had a family friend go in similar circumstances. I always use axle stands, ramps and a jack if I can. Just in case.
