Dude WTF, you are working under your car while it's sitting on a bed side table?

table is the only thing i had that could hold the engine while i had cross members and mounts off while the new v6 tranny was being put in........

looks out of place i know but i wouldnt be under it if i didnt think it was safe.......there was bugger all weight on it... just there incase it decided to drop on me..lol.........
