That is what he means, but as I already said it won't be too low. We have the same jack, and basically the same ground clearance. Jack it from the other corner. Its not hard. I don't know why this needs to be any more complicated. Keep a stock jack and a shorter 2x4 nailed to a longer 2x4.

Take two piecesof 2x4 one 12" long the other 6" long screw them together like a step and drive on up

Exactly.. and as I said.. at least westhopher had some practical real world advice. Still doesn't mean that I won't explore any other options... I'd rather carry a jack that works in my trunk than a 2x4... and from the looks of it the exhaust jack seems to work quite well.

I'd suggest using 2x8's, less chance of the car slipping off or the wood kicking out...

If you guys are super paranoid and picky.. why not install an pneumatic jack system? Ksport Pneumatic Air Jack

They are much lighter (just a couple pounds / cylinder) and less bulky than any low rise steel jacks or wood ramps you are carrying around. Not to mention a whole heck less hassle.

Older Hondas 89+ should work too, they're pretty god damn small.

This is for an emergency on the side of the road.. It'll atleast get the car up so you can throw another wheel on. That and I've never seen a scissor jack fail. Not like the widow maker that throws the car on you :heckno:

when Rcubed had an Audi A4, he used the stock scissor jack, well it broke and the car fell. Luckily he wasn't under the car at the time.

No one should EVER go under the car with a scissor jack anyways. Anyone who goes under a car without jackstands is risking their life IMO. As much as I'd like to fix my loose drain plug or cracked oilpan on the side of the road, I'm not willing to die to do it, so I'll deal with the inconvenience of waiting for a tow truck, or just pack jackstands for that matter.

why keep a jack in your car if you don't have a spare?

I'm not understanding the need for a jack.

To take a properly inflated wheel off of the car, stand on top of it and balance while running backwards in order to get to the nearest tire shop without damaging your heels if you are wearing improper shoes for running. Duh.
But seriously, I know jonny has aftermarket wheels so I assume he has a stock wheel he can throw in the back. I think him mentioning it didn't come with a spare was just a random piece of info. At least thats the only explanation I can think of.
