I don't see an advantage to carrying a jack in your car.

To assure enough lifting height and protection for the lifting points, Jim got 4 hockey pucks and notched one to fit the jack cradle and another to fit our rocker rails (A&A Corvette). Place 1 or 2 pucks between the jack cradle puck and the lift point and take a 7/16 socket with ratchet and go for it. We have never tried to lift our cars with out the pucks so I don't know if it would lift a C5 high enough without them.

Phone # of Genuine Hot Rod is 1-800-575-1932 Part # is #382-FJ0002

Thanks..XCLR8TN...At least its a better price. My worries were a height lift issue. For you others....I have a sub in the center compartment. So larger scissor jacks wont work.. I do have a 12V compressor and plug kit. Along with a folding Lug wrench. All tools necesary to change and fix the tire in an emergency. It all fits in the side back compartment. The other side compartment is for the jack I hope to find. Keep in mind this is strickly emergency use for trips only.
Thanks for all the replys....You guys are great
