Default Something funny happened today

I was wroking in the shop at school and a classmate came in wanting to do an alignment on his truck. His truck is a lowered S10 (I think) with a Xenon bodykit. First, cuz there was a car not in a stall all the way, we had to use a jack to maneuver the car if front of the alignment rack. We do so and the truck is struggling to get up and the tires started to burn a little. Then we set up little ramps between the front and rear tires (front tires were already on the rack) he then slowly approached the rear tires to the ramp and then gassed it a little too hard and the sparks flew and the ramp flew from underneath the truck and hit the tires on the little Nissan behind it with a loud bang and in flight the ramps picked up a lot of dust on the floor to cause a light fog. It was hilarious, I wish I had a video camera to record it. It finally got onto the rack with the help of a floor jack, a liscence plate removal and good old fashioned man power.

If I was standing 2 or 3 feet closer, the ramps would have took out my legs
