Default Getting Underneath Your TT

These TT"s are so low to the ground that getting access for even something as simple as an oil change is difficult. I have ramps that are basically unusable, and jacking the car up to place jack stands becomes a pain.
Does anyone have some creative, unique ideas for the average guy, with average tools,to get these cars up in the air?

I use one of those low profile jacks and dont have a problem. Of course if you wanna get high tech, the DTM/JGTC airbag jacks that allow them to do all 4 tires and add fuel in ~5secs (with one lug wheels) would be cool [&:]

I dream of those, and will someday fabricate a set for myself.

For now, I'll just keep using the pit.

Yeah... I just take a 2 foot 2x4 and put it on a short block of wood.

Have someone guide me up it, e-brake, and slide the jack under...

Just remember to replace the wood when you're letting it down, or the jack's not coming out.
(For once in my life I didn't find that out the hard way)
