[DeTomaso] small technical problem

[Jerry R Knotts]

Hump ramps are used to load belly cut mowers and tractors on pick ups or 
flatbeds.  Also in an emergency you may be able to use a floor jack under 
the front of the car after you have driven the front wheels over the break 
of the ground.  Just drive forward very slowly using the rollers on the 
floor jack as your front wheels.  If the drive is rough you could build a 
trough for the jack to roll smoothly along.

Just musing,
jerry
