holy crap! are you a marine or what? it took 3 of us little skinny guys anyway. well, 2 skinny guys and one fat guy. you can just barely see my face in that one.
ps. that sucks damkid. howd you get out of it?

I can lift one rear wheel of my Festy off the ground by myself. The wheel well can cut your fingers up pretty bad though. Geezerstiva- It looks like our cars are twins!

I'm no marine. I'm just short and sturdy. I weighed 170 when I made that vid. I'm about 200 now. 5'7" Fat boy.

well when i walked up to my car, the owner of the other car was there and wasn't to happy for good reason, i kinda knew him so once he knew it wasn't some drunk he calmed down, and when i explained to him that i parked straight, he looked at his car and seen little scruff marks that went up and down, and he realized someone lifted my car, then all was good, i never got in any trouble

I used to pick up my Escort when I was a youngun... tried it about a year ago, and could still do it, but not as easily... lol

[neanderpaul]

I believe that's at least a couple hundred more than a festiva. :shock: I can just barely get the festiva. I tried my wifes 98 acura integra. No chance. :roll:

[Axlander9289]

Dang, wish I'd tried that with my '89 Escort when I still had it. A couple years back, a girl I worked with drove a two door Metro. I picked it up with her in it, much to her surprise.

[quaddawg]

To show you how old that picture is, that 83 Escort was brand new... lol...


I used to park downtown.. you were supposed to parallel park, but I would just pull in cattycornered, and then get out and pick up the back, and walk it into place... lol.. that used to pretty much stop traffic.. it was fun.. I was young and too strong for my own damned good.. now I am about half crippled with back pain.. can't imagine why... lol.

It looks like you leaked a little while lifting the escort.

Carbonvmax flips em too.
