Great pics guys. Now, has anyone jumped their own car and got a pic?
BTW the Mustang drove straight as an arrow after that jump. No alignment needed. The light little 5.0 coupe was a perfect jump car. They sit high from the factory and unlike the GT have no ground effects.
On the same hill as the original pic my buddy (had one too many I guess) was supposed to drive my Trans Am (below) to meet me at the Marina and drop off the boat. When he got there I noticed that the T/A didn't sound right as he pulled up. He apparently jumped it a bit too high. I got under it to find two completely flattened headers, two broken motor mounts and a floor pan that was inside out. Those heavy, low, old cars don't jump so well. Needless to say I was not a happy camper.
Another guy tried the same jump going way, way too fast in his Audi A6 and he literally bent the whole car. The doors wouldn't open and the roof caved in. It also poured gallons of oil, coolant, tranny fluid, all over my driveway when he drove it back.
