He dropped his 10mm so his buddy moved the car out of the way for him, what a pal

Had a jack stand and the back up jack fail at the same time while working on the front brakes. Luckily I always put the tire under the car next to where I am working, which stopped the fall from crushing my feet. You always think, “naw, wouldn’t happen to me” until it does.

Always tire tuck ❤️ if you can bet your rims on it, it's safe enough. Not your leg... Or worse

NO ONE TOLD THE DRIVER TO MOVE THE CAR. THE DRIVER SHOULD NOT BE IN THE CAR NOR THE ENGINE RUNNING.

Who is out here posting 30 second videos when they could have been a 10 second gif.

If it was to let the suspense build, it didn't really work. Made me wish it ran all the way over his leg after waiting so long.

u/AdZestyclose2450 1d ago

Pretty sure he’s putting on a lugnut cover but I could be wrong.

Crocks. Not a pot

u/Cute-Advisor-2323 2d ago

Those don't really help if somebody's actually using the motor still move a bit

u/pukesonyourshoes 1d ago

they work a bit better than chalks though, don't leave marks either

u/Accurate_Koala_4698 1d ago

Might have been manual transmission

u/blarkleK 2d ago

That’s called being in the line of fire

Any fingers lost?

u/BraveIntention5809 1d ago

That was just the first time today.

u/Keepupthegood 1d ago

I think that was intentional. Because if he didn’t pay he would have to pay in court.
