Hi,
Ok, so I finally bought a pair of stands, and a jack (all rated at 2.25 tonnes)....I got it in a package for $39US.
Anywho, I also needed an oil change, so my bro and I figured the jack+stand would come in handy.
I raised the car from the front, and placed the stands on the side frame...just after I placed the stands, I thought one of the wheels on my jack got crushed or something. Turned out, it sunk into the soft driveway. After pulling out the jack, I noticed about a .5" groove left by one of the wheel on my jack. What a bummer...after oil change, raised car up again, and noticed the stands had also left a groove on the driveway (althought not as deep as jack)...
This is a real bummer. What can I place under the jacks+stands so I don't get grooves all over my driveway! I think wood would be a bit too soft. I dunno...
Bye!
