Using Ramps safely (Humour)

Post by **abscate** » 25 Sep 2018, 08:26

If you are really stuck and can't find a way to block your car using ramps, you can take a tight radius turn and do this.

Rs can't do this, of course, too slow and not agile enough.

Very interesting - I'm sure that object between your right head light and the turn signal played some role in this

My guess for the headlight object is a tie down.

I jack the car up and lower it onto one ramp at a time on all the P80's we have owned. My ramps are taller. Otherwise I use axle stands.

That is an impressive piece of driving skill by the way!

It’s like the MC Escher of Volvo maintenance. I don’t know where it began, or ended.

Do you put a kayak directly on the roof? Can't see any bars on that roof rail. Either I'm blind or your reckless with your 850... Don't know what's worse...
