Ditto! I have had a cinder block break as well as a big wood block tip, whatever you use, be sure it is secure. Sorry about your buddy, I was close to meeting up with him though. My brother too, he changed the starter on my mom's 74 Nova with a muncie 4-speed. Didn't disconnect the batt, arced the + term and drove the car over the ramps and onto his chest like 10-15 years before I did it to myself, I should've learned from his incident as well.
