In all honesty, if you want to store your car on jack stands so your tires don't get flat spots, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you have modern radials, any flat spots from sitting will go away within the first couple miles of driving after storage.
Besides, what if your house catches on fire, you won't have time to get your Chevelle off the jack stands and out of the garage! I say keep it on the tires, you never know! cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Wysocki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 6:10 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Storing on jackstands > I came in late on the post!
