Because you are working in a shop with a level floor. The car shouldn't generally roll off on its own. Leaving the car 'roll-able' like this makes it easier to work with. You can nudge it around if you need to move it slightly, get it lined up with your lift, etc.

This is my all time favorite runaway vehicle video

Watch This Air Tanker Yaw Like Mad While Dropping Fire Retardant

Breaking news - Guy who loves air cooled beetles also loves Air Cooled beetles! Who would have thought... ;-)

And we have our first water department joke of the day. Good job.

Does this rain take care of the $90M in past due water bills Detroit residents have?!

Oh thank goodness. They have 3 fire extinguishers. I can sleep soundly now knowing that if the GIANT TRUCK CARRYING THE NUCLEAR BOMB CATCHES ON FIRE, THE RUSSKIES HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL.

Forget the engine, look at that test cell!

IIRC, the State Police recommended raising the speed limit on at least I-94 on the east side and M-DOT said that the road wasn't constructed to allow safe driving at those speeds.

Which, given the Death Star Trench driving that occurs on that road at the best of times, is kinda amusing.

This sounds like freedom.

Finally, at the bottom of the ladder for fleet sales, airport rentals and people who are more concerned with looking good in a Mustang than going fast, there's the V6.
