The Versatility of Milk Crates

About 24 months ago my car was vandalized and left resting on two milk crates ... why was it "resting" on the crates? Because my alloy wheels where missing. As much as I was shocked that someone would steal my wheels, I was more amazed that milk crates had the strength to hold up my Honda Civic ... and it got me thinking, "how much force can a milk crate take before failing?"

So we put the crates to the test - watch the video!
