Is it also true to NEVER open the doors when it is on a hoist (post hoist I think they are) like the one Sync intends on using, due to the car possibly bending or is that comment published under false on snopes.com?

Maybe on a 2 door XB Falcon but these things have a bit more structural integrity than that and even then it would only be if you were jacking one corner.

That only really applies to convertables, old heaps of shit and Jensen Interceptors. In fact a Jensen Interceptor should never be 2 post hoisted.
