I have said it before on here, but sometimes it's hard to find a place that will take care of us older car people. I found another good one today.

My car didn't come with a jack. I wouldn't use a bumper jack even if it had one. What are you guys using for a jack? I was thinking of picking up a scissor jack from a bone yard. I have a good floor jack for the shop. Jim
