When you don't have a spare tire

When you realize that your donut spare tire is flat and you have to be at the meeting, you get desperate.

Less damaging to the brake disk than a block would be. I hate people who put their car up on blocks. Pony up the $50 for a set of stands, dumbass.

Most people that use blocks are stealing the rims so they don't care about damage. Also if someone puts a block under a disk brake might not use a jack stand properly so they might be better off with a block.

I might be stupid here but when I've put a car up on blocks or jackstands I just put them under the frame, isn't that where they go?

Yes.........but I've seen tons of people put blocks under the hubs/disks........And this is a car they're working on in their driveway or front yard........ it's not just theives who do it.

Like I said I'm sure those fuckers wouldn't use a jack stand right in the first place so it might be safer for them that way in the long run.

Yup, that's where I put the blocks on the cutlass when I store it for winter.
I don't use stands because, well... blocks are there and then I can still use stands for whatever i want to work on over the winter.
