    I love that movie!

    There are many ways to complete a given task. Some are safer than others, some are more effective than others. Everyone makes choices, and sometimes those choices entertain (and educate) others.

    OMG the Rednecks are evolving! They figured out how to use Zip Ties, for something other than Hand Cuffs.:rofl:

    At least they used the longer ones incase they start to slip.. more teeth to catch as they slip off or loosen. :rolleyes:

    You got to handle that spring like an undetonated grenade you found in a field. Good entertainment.

    They didn't even flip a coin to see who was gonna grab the coil from under the car.

    First guy: "Hey, grab that."

    Second guy: "Oh. OK."

    I mean, really... WTF?! Maybe the human gene pool got lucky and the car fell on them when they were trying to install the spring from underneath.
