Many years ago I had amassed a combination of Craftsman, Snap-On and
Matco hand tools.  While I really liked the Matco and Snap-On tools,

rough roads), and the rear air shocks don't adjust higher with people

to get a jack stand under it.  I wasn't sure where to put the jack to raise
the car so I called an auto parts store where the worker told me that I can
either put it at the base of the control arm or the ...

I am about to tear into a 1990 Nissan Maxima Automatic tranny.  The car has
130,000 miles on it and is not worth the $2-2.5 thousand I am being quoted

Has anybody done this and are there any cautionary tales out there?  Is

Finally picked up an old street rod (after 40 years).  Now looking for the
