If you have a smooth concrete garage floor, large, less-greasy pieces of cardboard also serve nicely as a low-profile, low-cost creeper.

Well, I guess New York pizza doesn't leave all that gooey casein stuck all over the bottom of the box.

When swmbo asks you what's on the driveway you can honestly say pizza oil stains....

That's what I order Priority Mail boxes for. They make great creepers!j-dawg wrote:If you have a smooth concrete garage floor, large, less-greasy pieces of cardboard also serve nicely as a low-profile, low-cost creeper.
It's okay, USPS, I use them to ship, too...

Not a pizza box, but I slide a large cardboard panel from a frig under the car. Makes sliding in and out much easier. My concrete drive was installed in 1946 and is a little rough. A pizza box would just make me lay there and smell all the stuff I would/should be eating.j-dawg wrote:If you have a smooth concrete garage floor, large, less-greasy pieces of cardboard also serve nicely as a low-profile, low-cost creeper.
I do like the oil change idea.
