Straddling a ditch with the wheels is a good way to get some room under a car too.

shipping a car cross-country is really easy

Just dont get under the car.

(A hydraulic floor jack above)

Factory jacks are usually screw type and take forever to raise a car up and down, where as a hydraulic jack like the one shown can raise a car in 10 pumps (or there abouts). Also they are much more stable as they have a much larger base.

Factory jacks are for changing tires, and they tend to be crappy even at that. The scissor type jack (diamond shape with a big screw through the middle) are notorious for stripping the threads, often all at once.

Factory jacks are not made for constant usage. I've heard of VW guys using theirs so much that they fail. Also, I would never get under my car with only one of those supporting it.

"Em três metros ... fazer uma curva ... acentuada à esquerda ...

A good factory jack is the best. It's light, compact, and always with the car. There isn't always room to use a floor jack.

True, regarding other drivers. However, what makes his statements sexist, is that he didn't point out those other drivers. He's also made statements before saying she's not a race car driver,(http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/10/ric…), as well as blanket statements about women driving. I could understand

"Your reply is clearly deflecting my points." Then you go on to discuss your points in a condescending manner. I don't mind having a reasonable discussion on the Internet, even with those who have differing opinions than mine. I do it all the time on rennsport.kinja.com and Twitter. I do not, however, have discussions

Right. Which is why it's not her fault people watch. Don't like it? Don't pay attention. I don't. There's plenty of other racers, male and female, that I watch instead of her.

Petty said that Danica couldn't win from 27th place. His statement is sexist because the facts are, there have been drivers who have won from 27th place and further down the line. See Ricky Craven http://www.racing-reference.info/drivdet/craver…, and undoubtably several others.

Had to try it! Yep.

There really isn't an interior, so let's pretend they're talking about the saddlery.

I now need to see a Sprinter Van painted up like this:

You know, I don't actually own the car, right? And, I'm more than capable of slobbering, pissing, puking, and crapping over any car I drive. No need to foist all that responsibility on my kid.
