Painted my front wheels, painted rear drums and checked the rear brakes (still looking good ). Next I will paint the rear wheels to match the front wheels.

In the front of the trunk (as in the end towards the rearmost point of the car), in the center, and under the false floor, is a metal tab sticking out from the front wall of the trunk. The jack goes under it, parallel to the front wall of the trunk. To hold it securely in place, use your fingers to turn the ****-thing on the jack as if you were jacking up your car. This will extend the jack and hold it nicely in place between the tab and the bottom of the trunk.

I did that but doesn't seem to stay put. Maybe because I placed the stick to rotate the jack under it, so that won't make it stay flush. Where does the stick thing go where it won't make noise and such.

I hate walmart and their small *** parking spaces. I fit in one fine, but the big *** trucks that love to park next to me don't.
