Inspired by Art Benstein. The remedy for sinking front ends even though I can still squeeze under. I spread sand over wet varnish the top and bottom of the ramps to grip the tire and the concrete but it took several tries this time because the sand is worn off on the bottom and tire was pushing the ramp forward. The sharp angle of the incline plane didn't help either. I have some old bike tubes that will be glued to the bottom for traction. What's nice is if you do go over the ramps, no harm, no foul. I swear I never did.

Magnetic drain plug after soaking in gasoline. Looks like too much ring fuzz after 2.5K and 16 months. Hey, its a town car. Mobil 1 is still cleaning up the oil pan sludge.

I measured the total length of the threads using the depth gauge end and was coming up with a 5 thousands difference between the two. I should have measured the thread outside diameter. Next time.
Bad news, the nice chrome plating is now off. Good news, the plating is magnetic.
