[QUOTE="Snagged, post: 12856310, member: 15840"] Yea, the jack that comes with the car crapped out on me only after not a whole lot of uses. I of course now have to get a new one to put in the car in case of flats. I just used it to get it high enough for the floor jack. This go around I just got two old pieces of deck board and drove up on those and that was high enough, to my surprise, to get the low profile floor jack underneath the front jacking point (this was my first using my low profile jack). When replacing the jack that comes with the car, are there better options than just getting a factory replacement? There has to be. I hate jacking up the car with a passion too but I'm pretty OCD with the jack stands and backups to the jack stands and backups to the backups, lol. A while ago I read that a Cobra owner was crushed by his car when he was under it while in the air working on the transmission I believe. I learned something new today with changing the oil when it's warmed up. I was told a long time ago it was best to do it cold. Oh well, you live and learn. Thanks for the help on this guys. :beer: [/QUOTE]
