Haha, I think it has to do with my troubles with jacking my car up all the time.

This is definitely on my Christmas wish list.

One note, I just tested it on my car and I am still about 12 inches away from the center jack point, that thing is like a mile under the car for God's sake. The angled back of the jack is hitting up against the ap1 front lip and the lift pad is about 12 inches away from the jack point. I need about 1 inch more height of the front bumper to get the jack under the car, I should be able to do it with some wood under the front wheels, it won't take much. I am at the stock height so anyone that is lowered will find it tricky, though it clears the side sill jack points with ease. I think I will need about 1-2 inches of wood planks to raise the front wheels and the jack will slide under with ease.

I was thinking the same thing, I don't mind jacking from the side points, Most jacks don't clear my ride height(~1.5-1.75 inches lower), and I plan on dropping the car a little bit more next season, I think this jack should allow me to avoid having to get the car on wood blocks

yeah I think I can make it work. I love the foot pump option on this jack, if you are in tight corners it is easy to pump it up with the foot peg instead of pumping the handle.

Be careful lifting this sucker, the guy at Canadian Tire refused to lift it himself lol, I got it into my house by myself but she feels like a load of lead.
