It's a legit trick. I was hoping someone more skilled than me had the same thought about photoshopping camber into the wheels on a floor jack.

I do the same. My car is too low to get a jack under. Plus I use it as my e-brake at the track.

Solid rubber tires ?

I just use my hi-lift for my truck. I need a taller one though. Topped out it barely gets the tires off the ground.

The air valve says those aren't solid.

Maybe water-filled if they were smart. But doubtful

In my defence, I read these threads backwards. They usually make as much sense.

At least the Mexican restaurant down the street is more reasonable about it. They have a wireless card machine. They wipe it down, hold it out so you can stick your card in the slot, when the transaction is done they hold it out so you can pull your card out. Wipe down again, then wash hands(sink at the drive through window). Then they set your food on a tray and hold it out so you can pick it up. Seems more legit

Miss riding my bikes. I was looking at ordering some roadworthy tires for at least one of them. Pretty much all my ride spots are shut down
