    I might not get under it but I wouldn’t hesitate to encourage someone else to go under there for me.

    No.
    What was the justification for leaving it like that and getting under it?

    You can't fix stupid.  It can only be killed, so it may have worked itself out in the end...

    Um....no.   I've seen some hinky stuff over the years, have participated in some hinky stuff over the years, had a brainfart of my own doing a time or few over my years, (one of which a forum member saw, LOL) but moving and jerking around such as a transmission install would create...

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    The saddest thing about this picture is it looks to be intentional placement as to cause the least amount of scuff marks or jack dents as possible. 

    Like they have PTSD from previous frame rail extension blues.

    I'd give it a solid 8/10 on the sketchyness scale.

    And no, I would not get under it.  That would be Russian roulette in earthquake country.

    I hate to think this is a can’t fix stupid moment where natural selection is the winner. Age and disease takes enough of us from the hobby, no need to add the cars to the list. The focus should be on safe methods of work.

    It’s great to get together as a group and do work like this. It’s more fun when everyone goes home without injury. I ain’t a safety guy, but I am the last line of defense for my safety and no one loves me like I love me. If it ain’t safe, call it out and get it there.
