This reminds me a story I heard from a garage owner many years ago (he was the father of a close friend).

His garage specialised in American cars, and they were used to the heavy RWD beasts. At some point of time in the late 70' or early 80' the US car makers started making FWD cars in order to combat the smaller and economical Japanese imports. When they had the first such car in the garage for servicing, they put it on the lift and raised it. But the lift was a 2-post lift with 4 jacking points, and when the car was half-way up it gently toppled-over and fell forward on its nose, much to everyone's astonishment.....
