the one time i put jack under the end of my buddy's ford zx2 and the jack were tall enough on there lowest adjustment that it lifted the tires up enough not to touch ground. So we were walkin out to his car to leave form my house he got everything was fine til he put it in 1st and it wasnt going he tried every gear couldnt find out the problem and then finally he looked under thecar and saw the jackstands. he was so nervous the whole time in the car tho
