Haha man this got a lot of hits over night and this morning! I have the day off from work today so looks like I'll be trying some WD40 and slipping the floor jack handle on for added leverage. Never even thought of that. Genius!

Its a PITA to jack this car up. I have to drive up on a couple 2x4s to even be able to fit the jack under the bumper and of course when I try to do that in my garage, the wood just slides across the floor so I have to brace it against the back wall with random things I can find. Then once that happens, there is hardly any room for the jack/handle. It's quite the ordeal.
