I have one puck with a sloth so it’s locked onto the pinch weld and the seat of the floor Jack has a lip so not going anywhere.
Reminds me of the days when people used to stack wheel spacers lol. Ah, good times

This is soooo brutally painful to watch. I watched it twice, like why torture myself? Morbid curiosity almost. I feel so bad for this dude.

But who owns a car that expensive and doesn't have a better setup for working on it. Two pucks is just begging to screw something up. Drive it onto a 2x4 or even 1x6 plank to get enough clearance to do a better job.

I completely agree. Even with my car that’s a fraction of the price, I’m careful. Very careful. Searched this post careful lol. I’d be crushed if this happened to me (pun intended).

Bullets Garage is selling the GSF. I ended up doing certain mods because of him, like the door panel lighting. Always enjoyed watching his content. He probably did everything he could possible think off to the GSF, got bored with it, and moving on.

BG has been doing nice GS mods and sharing for years now. I have enjoyed his video's even if not doing the mods myself. He also has been taking off things like wheels and other and selling them already for as much as a year.

The mistake he made on the jack was just that. We all make mistakes. I learned something from his mistake, and ordered some nice drive up ramps when I saw that happen.
