I've always done my own work when feasible. Tonight, I tried to change out the M6 fluid to RP Synchromax (540 miles) and was under the car for the first time. Look, there is NO way I'm jacking the car up on one side to do this. I have to tell you...it's VERY claustrophobic under there and I have a weird fear of getting crushed (okay, I'm a loser ). As a result, on a hunch for something better, I did some research:

I never even knew these things existed!!! But, I hate to pay for something I can do myself better. I don't know how the hell you guys got under there without freaking out. The oil looks easy..no problem. But that M6 is really cramped. My other car doesn't sit that low and I can drive it on the ramps. Can't do this with the GTO cause the damn front end hits the ramps.
Anyway, the "lift" is the answer. I'm buying it Monday and that way I can do all the work I want without going into shock or getting crushed to death by faulty jack stands.:cool
