Yes, I believe there are several of these awards things. The big one is in Toronto and this past year, we had one of the big ones here in Calgary. Paul Brandt was the M.C. I think. Paul's father is a paramedic I work with from time to time.

Very cool, Actually - I met Verle in Toronto when she used to run the Hummingbird center (formerly the O'Keefe Center) and she transfered out to Calgary, she keeps trying to get me to head up there again and I keep finding a reason to stay in warmer climates! I will mention Pauls name to her and se if I get a response!
Sorry for hijacking this thread!

It's Easy to level the Car. Take Home Depot leveler and put on on your center console. Close cup holder of course! When this is level your car is leveled. I did this when I did the Tranny and Diff Fluid changout. You can double check by putting the same leveler underneath the door sill between where the jack supports are.

A variant on my theme, but easier - I like it!

I wonder if anyone has found any reasonable affordable system for lifting the car at all 4 corners in one movement, to avoid the time-consuming jackstand / floor jack shuffle. I've seen two-post car lifts, e.g. Eagle Equipt, but the cheapest ones are about $1400.

Be nice to have something like that for wheel-off work, but a convenient system for drive-on work like alignments would be different.

Just dreaming ...

BTW I use a floor jack and four jack stands. My jack barely fits under my S2000 with a rubber protector cut from old tire. I use similar rubber protectors on the jack stands. Works fine but takes too long.
