> i usually like to keep the jack in place on some point of the car, even with jackstands. and if ive got a wheel off the car i put it under the car so if it were to fall it would atleast land on the wheel, giving me that 6-7inch safety net. might be the difference between a bruise and a crushed skeleton.

+1

I have been using 2 sets of ramps if I am not doing anything where the wheels need to come off. Jack + ramps = extra safety. I still don’t like being under the car, but what can you do?

One of these years I will build a garage with a lift. I envy all of you that have one.
