only reason I used the ramps is because I myself feel its safer to use ramps, then it is jackstands. IMHO there is a heck of alot more chance of the cherry picker "pulling" the car off the jack stands then pulling the rear tires OVER the huge "stop" on the front of the ramps. OP, can you tell me what forum you got these pictures from? im curious as to who is trying to claim the car is theres, if that is the case

Anybody in this thread that called the OP an idiot/retard/moron/dumb ***/etc etc etc can go **** off... Maybe he isn't the one that is all those things and it is actually yourself?
There is a major difference between being the mentioned things and IGNORANT! Being ignorant is NOT a bad thing, just means you have more to learn. Honestly, if I didn't know anything about these cars I would probably call someone an idiot for doing it that way also. That is most definitely NOT the first thing I would think to do while pulling an engine. Although, since I know these cars if I saw that picture I wouldn't think anything of it knowing that many people pull the engine that way. I personally like pulling it from the top because I think it is easier.
Again, look the definitions up for ignorance and stupidity/idiot/etc etc etc, you will find that the name calling is not needed. I have no idea why he posted it up, but if it was because he thought it was strange to pull the engine from the bottom, the name calling isn't just, and you actually are making yourself look like a dumb ***.

I also said I believe you guys when you said its easy to take it from the bottom but yet I still get called a dumbass because my personal preference is that isn't safe IMO... I fail to see why some people on here feel like they need to bash someone on their opinion even when what im saying isn't wrong in anyway but its rather just my opinion there could be a safer way...
Even on this thread where f-body guys are common never call anyone dumb for posting it but rather are actually respect and educate them it is a common way to pull the motor/trans, Here is the thread...

Its too bad that people keep calling me a dumbass and such when all i said was that I wouldnt trust using ramps holding the car like that when the front was so high, thats all i stated and not once did I say you were dumb for doing it!
I also said I believe you guys when you said its easy to take it from the bottom but yet I still get called a dumbass because my personal preference is that isn't safe IMO... I fail to see why some people on here feel like they need to bash someone on their opinion even when what im saying isn't wrong in anyway but its rather just my opinion there could be a safer way...

the title of the thread is "how not to pull a motor" anybody who reads that is gonna think, someone pulled a motor out the wrong way. You should have titled the thread "Pulling a motor on car ramps...unsafe???" or something along those lines. then there wouldnt be all the bashing.

The problem is not the ignorance, but the spirit in which the thread was made. It was made to bash the person in the picture for pulling their motor like that. Had the op simply posted and said seems unsafe to leave the back wheels on ramps like that, or is this how an ls1 is normally pulled, their wouldn't have been even a quarter of this response. If you don't no something, you shouldnt try to insult someone for using a method u are not knowledgeable about.
Either way though, the op apologized about it and admitted that he didn't no better so all is well basically.
As for the people claiming to own somebody else's car, well that's a whole different story.

How about I shove in up your ******* ***? On second thought, I won't give that offer.. I forget sometimes that you C.G. guys like that ****. 
Well, I usually bash pretty hard on people for ****. But this is some epic fail or anything of the sort. A lot of guys around here just hop on the wagon to try to get a jab in when it wasn't even that big of a deal. Then it makes the OP go from making a mistake to making it look like he is the biggest Fail in life, when that usually isn't the case. I would put money on it that 8/10 people in this thread have done/said/posted things WAY more dumb than you did.
Also, you guys wouldn't have posted a thread about how dumb someone was if you thought the same? I sure as hell would have.
