70'sChevyGirl Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Wow!! That could have been deadly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVette83 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 That's the reason I hate those old single post lifts. Not nearly as safe or stable as a two post lift. So can we agree the truck is totaled? There's no good way I can think of to get it out of the shop without dragging it backwards out the door. Also, I wonder what the guy who came in on the passenger side said that made him get up and walk over to the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Why would they be recording? A lot of shops record their bays. We record our entire lot 24/7 and have actually put someone in jail over some evidence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyAcadia09 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 That Conversation..... "say man, where is the bathroom located" Pointing with tool "its in the far corner" "Thanks" Moments later, "I think its locked" "nah, the door is just tricky. Let me show you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krewsman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yeah, can you imagine THAT phone call? "Uh Sir, we had a slight mishap in the shop..." I had a shop with 3 of the old single-post lifts--they were scary 30 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 My G8 has been on a single lift. Used it when I put the exhaust, UDP, and some Pedders bits on it when it was literally 3 days old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
