    One way to get the garage clean, AC broke.

    The other day our house AC broke. Luckily it ended up only being the fan cage that separated.   What was scary is I had to move the mustang over to the side and it’s not a rolling car yet.  The mustang sits right under the house AC unit in the garage.  So I had to clean the garage up in order to move the mustang. I had the back axle on jack stands on dolly carts and the front I used the floor jack.  It was safely moved and hopefully I can move it back this morning.   Good thing is the garage is pretty well organized and clean now.

    Everything happens for a reason!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Almost dropped the mustang when moving it back.   I did keep jack stands in place as I moved it just in case it fell.   One of the carts started to tip and the tire actually stopped it from completely flipping and falling.  That was a pucker moment.

    Maybe MS still has photos and the story of when his neighbor's Mustang fell while on the lift.

    Oh no I would cry if that happened.  I seriously think I would walk away and never touch it again.
