hey bro, if you know me, i was NEVER handed anything, not even my lift. I spent 25 years on my back, in the gutter, under jacks and jack stands. And get this, ive only owned a real floor jack since like the year 2000 maybe a little earlier than that but not much earlier haha. I have changed trannys using scissor jacks, on my back, in the street more than a few times. I remember having like 5 of them because i hit up the local "pick and pull" and scored some from the wrecking yard. I thought i was rich because i had extra STOCK scissor jacks from those boneyard cars to get my job done.
even my very first car blew the tranny and knowing NOTHING i changed it out in the street. Pops didn't want no oil on his driveway. Yes, at 16 i was swapping tranny's and even my engine. It was either that or i had no ride. Nobody gave me shit. I learned though....kids nowadays (i admit, even mine) get to call AAA and have pops help them get it fixed. It's ok i feel like i sacrificed so my kids don't have to suffer like i did. I don't spoil them, i teach them.....but they still got it way easier.
