I returned the old screwed up one and exchanged it for a new one. Problem is, the 7200 model I ordered was discontinued so they're giving me a 7300. The 7300 has some new stuff that I wasn't able to get with the old model so I had to get the order changed during processing. I was worried there would be problems but looks like it went through all right.

We started putting the dyno in. It should be finished tomorrow. Some guys were working on a Dodge's A/C, and they were doing something with the lift (I don't know what exactly. I was watching the new dyno being constructed.) and I turn around and the guys are screaming because the button on the lift got jammed and the van was uncontrollably rising higher and closer to the roof so someone has to hit the emergency shut out button and the entire shop's power was knocked out.

No one could've gotten hit. It was already secured on the lift. It just would've sucked because even when the van hit the roof the lift would've kept lifting it.

I think it's funny that when I rented my Impala, they made me sign something saying I wouldn't do any performance mods to it.
