Alright, the Fly Girls were okay.

And here I was trying to be nice and not mention the Charger part.

I already hate flying.

Well, I rarely drive mine if it's 30 degrees or less. Now, if it gets down to -10 or -20 I might. Then they don't even try to use salt on the roads, and rightfully so. Either way, the tires will start out at about 60 degrees (about as cold as it gets in the garage), and I always take it very...

If it concerned me, I'd get some of those Race Ramp style thingies to put under the tires. But it doesn't.

Okay, but why lift it in the first place?

You put a frame under yours? If so it should resist bending quite well.

There's a reason 4-post lifts exist.

I've used StaBil for years, and it works. Well, up to two years anyway under less than ideal circumstances. Recently switched over to Star-Tron, which seems to do a better job.

The key to keep it usable longer is well sealed containers, regardless of the material. But gas with ethanol can still stratify over time if not treated.

It does.

That would be my main concern. The car was built to be supported by the tires, not closer to the center. Temporarily lifting it up to work on it won't make it go bananas (so to speak), but over time I'd think it could deform a bit.

It's really a side effect of shooting sod poodles. They generally have flies on and around them.

Ball peen hammers?!? Hell, no, not as long as I have access to my trusty .22, or a sledge.

I looked into the Harbor Freight winches when needing one for a vehicle last year. While the prices were quite appealing, there were far too many reviews of broken and non-functional winches for my liking. Recently I decided to put a winch on a trailer, and bypassed Harbor Freight again, for...

Me too, but my bank account isn't nearly as full of it as it should be.

I'm starting to like my girlfriend's RS6 Avant. It's a bit of a sleeper (to most people anyway) with 590 hp.

I get it. It's just that I prefer a larger safety margin. We have comparable weight cars on the trailers, but the largest difference is in the tow vehicles. Mine has a longer wheelbase than a crew cab longbed pickup, and weighs about 9,400 lbs. Also, the inherent stability of the gooseneck...

Primarily it's because the straps generally are touching each other, which will result in wear. But also, unless the anchor points are a long distance away, the angle lessens the effective strength of the straps quite a bit. If perfectly in line they are at 100% of the WLL, but any angle will...

And you never should have. There must be a 1,000 ways to tie down a vehicle, but unfortunately very few of those ways are correct. Then again, what you tow with and how the towed vehicle is tied down doesn't really matter...until one day it does.
