    How to lift your car for inspection like a BOSS!

    At my friend's BMW wreck yard today....but I found them working on a car that runs... He's the boss! I never knew how heavy forklifts are until I saw this balancing act.

    Yikes! Not sure if that sort of thing is common, but I don't know if I would put my life on the line with one of those things!!!

    My friend was telling my that forklifts can have a lead weight in the back totalling 10,000lbs. So having a $3,500 up front so close to the middle point shouldn't even be a problem. I saw the mechanic tugging on the underside linkages to check for any loose parts. The car didn't rock one bit!!

    That makes sense. Now that I think about it, that is their whole reason for living. Lifting heavy crap up in the air!!!
