I was about 19 years old and I helped my cousin get a 80 Z28 that was wrecked. It was smashed up at the rear quarter right at the wheel well. Well, my cousin got a bug up his butt and decided he wanted to take the damaged shock off that side. We pushed the car outside onto the driveway, and put it in park. Jacked up the car, sat right up next to it and got to work. We also decided to roll up some of the sharp edges while we were at it. Just so happens the driveway was on an incline, and the car was face down. The rear end was a one legger and the parking brake wasn't on. What's that? There's still gravity? Sonofabitch....... The floor jack, no jackstands, started to tip over. We said "****!!!!", pulled our legs out from under the car, and the damn car rolled down the driveway. We just looked at eachother, snickered, and said "I think we forgot to chock the front wheels.....".
