I'm not actually sure. I'm pretty sure he just used the scissors jack.

He's a machinist by trade and used to do a lot of car mechanic work, but
they live in an apartment in Houston now - no room for the tools (which went
to my brother).

My brother and my father are the gear heads - I could probably flub my way
through it, but not gracefully.   I host my brother's stock-car site on my
server and he actually gets way, way more traffic than I do:

Throws my damn stats all off.  ;^)

Did he have a decent hydrolic jack in the car already or was he using
the scissors jack? I really don't trust scissors jacks anymore after
one lifted it's way up through a frame and into the interior of the
car. Yeah, it was an old, somewhat rusty car but still.
