Hmmm... just like me other car. I gotta use two jacks to raise it.

The scissor jack first then the big trolley.

Hope it aint made any big dents underneath!

I have to slowly drive the front wheels up a couple of small blocks to graduallt raise it, before I can get a jack under it. There is only 1.5 inches clearance under the front chin spoiler and 2 inches under the sills!!
