Please, can you elaborate on the wood incidents? Thanks

Glad to hear you had minimal issues. I have no idea how anyone can handle the throttle with a PDK car in such an application!

Expensive, but JackPoint jack stands have been great.

It depends on how you use the wood. In addition to jack stands I'll occasionally use a few solid blocks of wood, about 6'' X 8" X 12". Same kind you see when they're moving a house and shoring up underneath between the trailer and the bottom of the house (except they're longer than 12" in length).

Sorry couldn't help myself. Saw these on a recent trip to BC and was a little envious of their innovative outdoor ramps. Too bad I didn't have my C2S for that photo op. On a serious note. I used my old metal ramps only once when I first purchased my 911. Nothing happened but it was a close call. After that I ordered a set of JackPoints. Couldn't be happier 3.5+ yrs later. In fact, I now have 4 JP's to cover all 4 corners. Best money spent to safely work on my vehicle. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...ackstands.html

Here is my (sort of invasive) solution. First, I went to a metal fab shop to have some low approach ramps custom built. They are about 5 feet long and raise the car 12". Over engineered they weigh 40 lbs ea. ($100 on the guy's after hours time) I had him leave a 1/2" hole in the end plate. I drilled 2 5/8" holes through the concrete garage floor with my hammer drill and use 12"X1/2" spikes to anchor the ramps. No sliding. Admittedly a little harsh drilling the floor, works great to stabilize the ramps.

I made ramps out of 2 x 12 planks just to get the car a little higher. Cut angles at the ends to make getting up them easy. So placed them in front of rear wheels and gunned the engine. One of the planks flew out from under the tire clear across the street to my neighbor's front yard. *Luckily* no one was going for a walk and no cars were passing by. So I bought a set of low plastic ramps and found out they fly even farther! Man I am lucky (and stupid), but no harm done. Now I put the plastic ones on cardboard and they stay put. I have an epoxy floor so if you do as well, be careful. Talk about excitement.

I did the same as sullivas except I stacked mine so the car is about 3" off the ground. Mine are 12 feet long and drive on them front first. No issue of projectiles. The long 2x12s also keep the car level.
