Maybe I don't want to work on my cars anymore.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get jack stands for a while.  Do I really need the wheel chocks though? 

You may not, but they are handy for ensuring that the vehicle doesn't roll off as you're jacking one axle.  Use your discretion on that one I guess.

Which one works best? Pink? Light blue?

I couldn't tell you which was which, so pick one. :lol:

Is that to outline the body on the pavement when the car falls off the jack and crushes him becasue he didn't have jackstands?

Indeed.

Yea I absolutely hate working on my car as well. But I hate driving a car w/o a stereo or shitty suspension or w/e. Big lesson learned: just get a better car to begin with.

I don't really mind doing stereo work (nothing on my stereo is stock except the antenna, including all wiring), but I'm not such a huge fan of mechanical work. This is why the E21 has sat motionless for over a year. I keep telling myself that I'll just get it running and then sell it since I'll get more for it that way, but the longer I wait, the more I realize that I'm probably just going to try and sell it as is.

My rear speakers don't work. Wiring on Hondas, even old ones, usually isn't bad so I don't know what it could be. I will tear into it this weekend.

Did they both stop working simultaneously? That would be very strange. I would just check to make sure they're plugged in first though. When I still had my stock speakers, one of the wires managed to wiggle itself off somehow.
