It's heavy, but...

The Jag weighs in at 2 1/2 tons. Yes 5000 lbs. When I tried to push it, it barely moved and I am not a small guy. To compound the problem my Jag had "pimp" rims with tires that were maybe 2 inches thick AND one of the front tires was flat. I have taken the pimp rims to a local place and traded them for new tires for the rims I got. Not to bad I got Bridgestone 215/70 R15 tires. I was putting them on when my 10 year old floor jack (which is only rated at 2 1/4 tons) finally died. One minute I am jacking up the car and the next my jack is spraying fluid like some kind of arterial spray. I will get a new jack and finish putting on the new tires. I will send pictures tomorrow.
