Default ---- cheap jacks

had my car on a jackstand and then i lifted it up with a jack so i could sip the radiator in from teh bottom, so i got the radiator in balh blah blah, took a break and i come back and the jack has lowered, and the jackstand isnt sitting on the tow hook, its sitting IN MY ------ INTERCOOLER. so now i have to get another intercooler, wait for it to come, pull off my bumper, and put that bitch in. what a pain in the ***, ---- cheap jacks.
