“A woman ran a red light and crashed into the front passenger side of my 2004 mercedes benz ml 350. After the impact there was smoke coming from under the hood. A driver coming from the opposite direction yelled out that my car was on fire. When I got out of the car, I saw a big puddle under the car and it ignited. Within a few minutes the car was completely engulfed in flames. When the police arrived they determined from the amount of front end damage to the other car that the driver was not speeding and that the impact didn't seem to be sufficient to cause my car to catch fire.”

Car got stuck and spinning wheels dug into a region of hard packed snow over a gravel driveway at my father's house. I was using the jack to lift the wheels out of their holes so I could fill the hole with chunks of wood. To spread the load on the snow the base of the jack was on a roughly 10 long piece of 2x4, which was placed on a roughly 8x10 inch piece of plywood. Jack worked fine for the first 2 wheels. …”
