Even at the regular price I think they're worth it. I got lucky and caught them at a nice discount. I got the ones that 7t2vette got along with the short, small one piece ramps for the rear wheels....can't remember the name for them. I use them for all of my cars now but they're especially great for the Z06 since it's so hard to get under it.

Yep, I have the roll-ups (mini ramps) and the cribs. My garage is marked for the ramps, roll-ups and cribs...so I just lay everything out and drive up, then jack up the rear and I'm golden. They're perfect for my '03 Z06, but they were also really helpful for my '72 pickup when I had to change the driveshaft.

Hmmm...good reminder that it's August and I do a fluid change in August. There goes my Saturday morning
