parking brake was on mayne.. W/ the incline and the lowness of my car, and the fact that I was using a lowered car jack = fail...
I was jacking the car up w/ a lowered car jack to get under my side skirts (had to use a block of wood to even slide the lowered car jack under my car, that always makes me smile) but I had to jack it up high enough to get jackstands under it.. That's what got me.. When I jacked the car up that high, gravity took it away from me.. Park brake or not, when on uneven ground the car will tilt and gravity will handle the rest..
Definitely going to take you up on that.. What do you think about Monday or Tues evening.. I coach on Wed and Thurs nights.. And I know you have meets to attend anyway, and Soccer on Fri nights right?

Yeah, I stay away from any type of incline when jacking up my car.
So I pretty much spent most of the day driving to Houston and back to pick up my grandparents. Was a somewhat fun drive down there, but I had to drive like a grandpa back
After todays trip, I need to get my oil changed now lol

I picked up some 6000K bulbs from one of the sponsors and it very very nice, the bulb output is so much different than the D2R reflectors. And I'm fan of the LED's even though it's Euro style and whatnot.
I can't remember if Blake had any issues with his but I swapped over the ballasts, plugged the new D2S bulbs and it worked like a charm! Although I haven't checked if the fog's are working
I'm sure R1 will try to get me to convert the fogs to HID's and change the turn signal lamp
