It's the painful way I avoid as I am afraid of being under a car despite
crawling under them since 15. Not only do I jack the car with a floor jack,
but I prop it up with two stands and still leave the floor jack in place.
That's okay as I wear goggles, gloves, jeans and steel tip boots when using
the lawnmower.
