This is what happens when you're in a hurry

Last night after work I wanted to do a quick brake inspection because I thought I heard a slight squeal from the front brakes of my daily driver.
Well, I was in a hurry and tried to use the jack in a different location than usual.
Floor jack slips and car ends up coming down on the radiator core support bending it badly, pushing it up and breaking the radiator in the process.
Had to pull the entire radiator core support off and get another one from a boneyard.
I didn't have my jack stands under it yet so I wasn't under it and the core support took the weight of the entire car.
Waiting on a radiator now.
Moral of the story - don't be in a hurry when things are in the air.
You can see the massive bend in the bottom of the core support.
