If it's any consolation, the Honda dealer did the same thing to my AP2 when it was in for an oil change and inspection.

i use these wood ramps. now my car is way lower and has a lip on it, but just barely fits on the ramps. then i can put the jack under the front cross beam. if i want to jack up the diff i just drive on top of two small boards and the jack fits. same for the side jack points.

I hope you guys are in the habit of using wheel chocks (if needed). Also for those who work on their cars outside (i.e. driveway) use jack stand plates or 3/4" plywood. I've seen jacks/ jack stands bury into the tar under the car's weight which can be dangerous and also cause damage to your driveway.
