Let\u2019s hope the little guy\u2019s parent\/s get real before a major accident happens. Fast forward and you\u2019ll assume the lad jacked up the car all by himself. No doubt, a family member pitched in.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, the wheel is off, and you\u2019re still pulling your hair out and biting your tongue that about the vehicle resting on a small jack and piece of wood (that could crack at any moment). And then the young lad places the tire under the car for extra safety. Good move! He\u2019s having his moments, but you can envision that one day this lad will be a super mechanic. The lining on the brake pads is worn, but it may be hard to wrap your mind around it because you\u2019re still reeling from all the safety violations. All in all, it\u2019s informative, cute, and a bit scary. Check it out.
