Hahaha..

Nope - rhino ramps are your standard automotive ramps, except these are made of high strength plastic, have rubber non-slip grips on the bottom, and are low profile so our P5s won't rub up against them when driving up them.

rhino ramps

I got mine from Wal-Mart. They work great and never slip out from under when you are going up them. They also only cost about $30 US.

Floor jack and jack stands are much nicer.

Why?

Not if you are only changing the oil or doing something quick when you don't need the suspension uncompressed

I have a floor jack and jack stands, but I don't lug them out to get under for a minute to wrench the drain plug off.

that is very true but in order to get the oil to drain out of your motor and do a *pseduo correct* oil change the car will have to be level. Its alot easier to drop the car straight down then jack it up to pull out the ramps. besides driving up those is a pain in the *** no matter what brand you have of those ramps. IMHO

You can also just pour the half quart or so that was unused from your last oil change through the engine with the drain plug off. That helps to push the particle filled shitty old oil out.

you are right with the pain in the *** those things are to pull onto, especially with wider tires. The have rubber feet but still slide on my garage floor. I think it is time for me to build a pit.
