[B]I usually use the scissors jack approach myself, but when I had to bring my car in to have a flat repaired, the mechanic just reached down and lifted the car an inch or two and rolled the jack under.

Hey ReedZ, does the CD in your picture have the software you need to operate the jack? Sounds complicated!
I have the (don't gag) Delco jack that I got for 40 bucks and it works beautifully. In the hardened plastic carrying box it comes in, fits PERFECTLY in the sunken area in the trunk. Driving up on pieces of wood is sometime necessary, it depends on the surface that I am on...
Yea, Mack, that think is awesome...! Way to go, man! But how portable is it? Can you take it in the trunk easily?

Greg-
It weights about 35lbs and although it will fit in the trunk I haven't tried that.
It's the old "I bought a priceless piece of art and now I've got to build a house to go around it" problem. If your following my line of thinking.....then here's a shot of my new house!
When will the madness end!

Mack's aluminium jack is verrry beautiful.... (hmm- am I coveting my neighbors jack?) And not only does he have the collest jack on the block, but he has the rubber coated sockets from Griots as well.
I was snooping around in his garage before s2k Days and came across the case that holds them. My knees got weak as I opened the case.... mmmm rubber coated sockets....
um sorry.... I guess what I was trying to say was- Mack has all the cool toys! And the jacks completelty portable, it just about found it's way into the back of The Mistress! I think it only weighs abour 35 lbs, very compact... hmm keep your eyes on that jack the next time Team Threesome comes to visit.
