2.0l engine stand??

[lacelle@frontiernet.net (Erik LaCelle)]

It most certainly would, but it seems no matter how careful one is about
draining it, it still will manage to leak something out, especially if
it were to tip forward.  Hence the question (to paraphase):  "How do I
get a motor home in my wife's car," (I like that, by the way!), "without
scratching the shit out of the interior or spilling fluids everywhere?"
