Maybe just getting some chainmail pants will do the trick

The thing about that is that he GOT OUT OF THE CAR and pulled the jack free, before expiring.

Proof that a jack off really can harm you.

So I had the Tesla washed today. Overall they did a pretty good job.

But there's still some mud caked in the wheel wells... I'll try to get that hosed off next time I wash the car...

Good thing that:
a) mud is soft (and I have to add water back to it to get it off)
b) the battery isn't in the wheel well

Maybe not. Not long after the JK Wranglers hit the market one fellow hit a tree *just right* and, well . . . Let's just say that the phrase "an inch is as good as a mile as long as you don't hit anything" was never truer. Nothing important was damaged.





The tree just happened to find just the right spot to slip between the axle, suspension, and week spot on the firewall.
