So the floor jack that I have now starts off at 5.5", which is too tall to get it under the FD. So to get it to work, I have to use the stock scissor jack, then one it gets high enough, stick my regular floor jack underneath it. I'd really like to find a jack that will fit underneath the car as-is and lift it quickly. Anybody know of any sales going on where I may be able to knock a few dollars off of one? Sears has one for $150, but that's the only place I've looked at so far.

i've seen some in magazines, but nothing that cheap, and the one Chuck has is a good jack, had i known about that i would've gotten it, and not the $99 autozone 4.5" or whatever mine is. barely fits under the front of my z far enough to jack it up, and its 1" higher because of the 18" wheels haha

Wow, good call Chuck, I didn't even know there was a Harbor Freight in Greenville. Some of there stuff is crap, but there are a few things that work well and are really cheap to boot. Yeah, definitely see if you have a coupon.

Yup... It's right near Westgate Mall where the Home Depot USED to be.

Harbor freight was glorious, they had basically everything you could ever wish for. It was dangerous for me to be in there by myself with credit cards.

Oh, I forgot to mention, don't anyone listen to Chuck's directions. He'll get you shot.

No no, see, the way you sent us made us miss Church St. entirely. We had to stay on Washington, which then dead ended in the side of a building in the ghetto.

You can't turn onto Church from Washington St. though, Washington St. goes under Church St. and into the ghetto.
