Re: Dumb stuff that you've done

So a few years ago my truck of choice was a 49 F1. Being a street rod it sat pretty low in front and I had to drive up on some short ramps to get the front end up in the air to get the floor jack under the cross member to get it up on jack stands The rear was no problem to get up. Well in my haste to lower the truck I decided to lower the front first on to the ramps then went around to the rear and raised the rear axle off the stands and got them out of the way. proceeded to slowly lower the floor jack and all of a sudden the truck started rolling off the ramps! The floor jack was still under the pumpkin and when it hit the edge of the concrete at the door opening it stopped. Good thing the garage door was up and I was able to roll out of the way. I'd forgot to put the truck in park before I started lowering it. That one could of been ugly!
