Oops, sorry for the previous mail, forgot to write it before sending it ;-)

Anyway, what I mean to ask was about the jack stands. I've had the car
on the stands a couple of times and I've never figured out a good
location to place them in, something that looked sturdy and stable
enough. I've ended up placing them on the points where the jack goes,
but I don't feel too good about that either since it's only a thin
blade of metal and it might be pushed in if I leave them in place for
a longer time. Are there any better locations?
