scary picture..but that is not a widow maker. at least not the one found in MkI's and II's (I dont know what jack VW puts in III+
I like how the screwdriver looks like its keeping the balance.

Looks like a Honda jack.  Either way, that is some pretty creative balancing

Story goes - guy was traveling and transmission went out.  Did a swap by the side of the road.  Thats scary enough. 

I broke my transmission jack lifting the transmission and dual trasfercases into my last Toyota.  It was rated at 1000lbs. :o
