[BMWCSRegistry] Aluminium floor jack

[jmlaughead at aol.com]

I bought a cheap floor jack from harbor freight, and it has held up OK, but I'm careful never to put any body parts under the car, or between the tires and the fender well, until I get the jackstands set.

Here's your aircraft aluminum jack!  But, it's from Harbor Freight.  It
couldn't be any good though!  Right?  Because, they aren't reaming you a new
one for it.
