Anyone here have car ramps? If so, do they work well?
Have not seem much on the web, aside from the cheap onesat Autozone.

Have a set of Rhino Ramps, almost never use them. Either jack stands or some wood stands I built that go under the tires.

I have used them and then switched to jack stands, they are safer. Sometimes the ramps moved when trying to drive onto them.

Is that a spot on the floor under the red car?

That's what I thought. Car ready to go for the year? Were you looking for a finger guard? If so give me a call or e-mail me.

Have set of Race Ramps RR-40. Kind of pricey but are excellent. Light weight and will not move when driving onto them. Great tool for oil changes or just working under the front of the car.
