    When I was in school we used to pick on this guy with a faded out red VW Beetle. We often picked it up and carried it up and parked it sideways on the sidewalk.
    He once asked us about how to make his car shine and we told him to smear mayonaise all over it and leave it for 3 days before wiping it off. He came in the next day with a car covered with mayonaise.
    :cry: I am so ashamed!!! :rolleyes:

    I saw those in the last Eastwood catalog. My first thought was COOL. Quickly followed by, wondering how much fun it would be to be working on the car when we have our next earthquake.

    You're such a maverick! ;)

    Good luck.

    For the other folk: I call first dibs on Dave's car if there is a life-threatening "incident" with the Tilt-a-Whirl! :bouncy:

    WOW! They had HYUNDAIs when you were in school??

    I must be getting old! Anybody else remember them being around in high school? We had Toyotas, Datsuns, VW's, Porsches and Audis as the imports, oh yeah Fiats, MGs and Triumphs too! Don't think we had Korean cars back in the day.
    :rofl2:

    Ha!


    Please wait at least 21 days before you ride the Tilt-O-Whirl
    (Sounds like you're serious so I went ahead and purchased my plane ticket).

    But, really, good luck with it. :whistle:

    $700.00, powdercoated and ready to use, I'll post a few pictures as soon as I pick it up, and tilt the car.

    Science. It has a crossbar that connects the two things mounted to the axles, that gets connected to an engine hoist, when it's in position it has feet that come out and lock it in the upright position, then the cross bar can be removed.
