Nothing comes easy
Another new 'Vette lesson. Have done my own work forever so I went out to jack up my new 'Vette to take a look-see at what's involved in changing oil and filter. My jack will not go under the side or front. It'll just kill me to have a dealer change my oil.

Sounds like a plan because right now, I don't want to spend the $$$ on a new jack. Any problems with the boards scooting out from underneath the tires as you drive up on them?

glue or staple rubber tool box door liner material to bottom of 2x6 or 2x8 and bevel the leading edge to 30 to 45 degree angle and you should not have a problem driving up on them.

If you have the height, about 10', and about $2,700.00 you can do more yourself and gain a parking spot

I don't really enjoy matching insane competitive discounts, but, I find myself doing it again this week for eight ramp model numbers.
See details here:

This competitive price match will probably only last a few days.

I've never had a problem w/ them scooting out. I used some 3/4" plywood and screwed 2x12 (w/ 45 degree cut on circular saw) on top. Been doing it for years to get my car high enough to use my lift.
