Message	They're unsafe, and cannot lift the car up high enough to safely get under it or even to place jack stands under it. My friends got a Pep Boys jack and it's a piece of shit, the car has fallen on him before from the jack tipping over because one of the wheels broke its mount........harbor freight has good jacks for about $140 and they should fit under your car nadir, you could also use UZCREAM's suggestion for more clearance by driving the car up onto ramps or 2X4s to get it high enough to slide the jack under. later, amir The reason this sig pic doesn't work is because Bernie says I suck at inet. =) "Man, a car full of ugly girls in an explorer tried to chase me down today, I almost vomited then floored it and got the hell away."-nadir
