HEHE, ramps. I started out that way, buuuut....

(this is embarrassing)

Saturday.

I bought the tools, let the car cool down, get something to eat (food quells caffeine shake) before I install the BOV. I place the Rhino ramps where I want them in the garage for best lighting. [8D] The first time I used these Rhino ramps, I had no problem. However, this time I was having a hard time getting to the top. (Are my fears of driving over the edge unjustified? [:I])

On the third try, I gave it some more gas halfway up the ramp. Bad move. The right wheel flung the ramp right under the car. Fortunately it went straight and did not scratch the car. The metal edge at the very bottom of the body dug into the ramp. (Glad they weren't metal!)

I backed up ever so slowly to get off of the left ramp so that I could drive the right wheel onto it to get the wedged ramp out. At least that contingency plan worked. I put the ramps away, pulled back into the garage, and did something where less could go wrong (reading), for I was in no condition after that to work on the Rolocoaster. That was Attempt #1. [xx(]

Sunday.

Had my pot of coffee, ate, decided Attempt #2 would not involve getting under the car. After looking at it over a soda, I decided it did not look that difficult with the ratchet wrench. [B)]
