    Those actually look fairly hi-tech, including safety pins and asymmetrical cutouts :cool:

    I’m in Northeastern Pennsylvania right now (through Halloween), so I’m unavailable until November :cool:.

    But maybe in November we can piece something together (y).

    And the fall foliage is at the tail end, but still nice(y):

    I really wish there was some place that would allow you to rent like a mechanic's bay for a few hours and use some tools (or bring your own even) cause I end up paying through the nose repedly for stuff i could do myself no problem if i had a damn space to do it in. I got pretty bad back issues so using Jack stands and getting under the car is rather difficult and I try to avoid it. I think if somebody opened a self serve mechanic space it might do well. Or even if the county had someplace like that with some pits, you wouldn't even need expensive lifts. Idk its probably a dumb idea for 1,000 reasons I haven't thought about

    That's awesome that you are offering to do that. It's worth it, just to learn how to use a lift on a Prius. Do you have volunteers to show people how to operate them? Because I am sure you will be kept busy. I'm on the east coast, so I cannot attend, otherwise I would help.

    If you are in the military (or are retired from the military/DoD) most bases have hobby shops that you can use. A lift is 5 or 8 dollars an hour (I forget which).

    There is something like this place in SJ if you really need the lift.
    Otherwise, it's too expensive for me for routine maintenance.

    Do it yourself shop in San Jose
