well some of us that were taught the proper way would say that ramps are a bit unsafe. i dunno about you guys but i couldnt use ramps with either of my cars. the darn things were simply too low. the correct and safest way is to use jacks. look for the plates on the bottom of the chasis. and i doubt anybody does this, but if you wanna be really safe, well use both. i honestly hate crawling under cars and it really isnt my thing. so i can understand sombody elses fear of goin under one.
