New member 2002 corvette
Hello everyone I bought this 2002 corvette with 12500 miles on it. Seemed like it is still new to me and I really like it. Paid 17k for it hope I did alright. I did put a new set of tires on it and have been changing all the fluids. I am looking for a jacking system. The one I am looking at is the Quickjack system. The car has some options on it but I can't recall the packages. Thought I would take a couple pictures and show it to the forum members. Thanks Alex

Welcome to the forum and I wish you the best of luck with your virtually new car.
I used 2" x 10" lumber to get the car up in stages of approximately 2" bumps. They work very well and I use them frequently. The 90 degree edges are cut to 45 degrees and it is screwed together. I have rubber pads on the bottom to stop the ramps from slipping.

Welcome and good price you paid for the car, especially with the low mileage. Invest in a good low profile aluminum racing jack and a set of jacking pucks to lift the car without causing damage to the rocker panels. I use a set of snap in BMW jacking pucks on mine, but some of the forum vendors have similar items that you can get. I also use a set of Rhino Ramps for those times I need the car in the air for an extended period of time.
