I'll drop by Sears tonight and see if I can find any killer deals. If not then we have a harbor freight a block from my house. My uncle is going to give me a pair of jack stands he has and I'll just get two more tonight so I have a full set. The floor jack is what will cost me the most money by far.

You should find some killer deals at Sears today.. I was watching the news earlier and they said Sears was slashing prices bigtime! I may even have to make a trip there myself (thinking about what I "need", which is really nothing right now unless they're blowing out vortech superchargers lol).

And try to find the highest lift floorjack you can find. you'll appreciate the extra lift. mine has a 31'' lift (SUV-style floorjack).

You won't be able to fit the higher lifts under lowered cars as easily (ala "race" jack) but the higher lift will come in VERY handy. I had to have one with a truck and 20'' wheel/tires.. nothing else would work.

It works just as good on the mustang.

After this morning I'm tempted to say screwit and get a snow blower. My DD civic got stuck in the driveway and I had to dig it out. 15 minutes late to work.

Frickin winter.

Wanna trade? The winter is one of the two things I hate about MT. The other being the idiot drivers.

Two weeks ago it was wonderful here. Then it became a deep freeze that hasn't let up. Sucks. I might go out and start up the car Sunday and let it run for 20 mins. just because it's been sitting there for a while now.

I get a Sears newsletter e-mailed to me. Their newsletter said they were having a big after Christmas sale on Saturday. You may want to hold off one more day if you can to get some better deals. Plus stores are going to be a nightmare today with returns and stuff.
