wrenching on your car in crappy weather

I remember as a kid , living in the suburbs with no driveway. Used to roll under the car right at the curb if you put one side up on the curb. I specifically remember putting a clutch in from the curb during a downpour. No trans jack. My skinny *** would pull the A833 up onto my chest, and heave it up there.Water running under me along the curb. Trick is not to have the car too high. LOL. Now the only thing I can heave is my lunch !!
