How to jack up car...dumb question...
How to jack up car...dumb question... Yes I know it's a dumb question. On my 240sx it was easy cause it wasn't that low to the ground and you could jack it up anywhere. My Vette is getting a fresh oil change by myself and I dunno where to jack this thing up at or if I need to remove anything. Umm...ya if anyone could help me without laughing at me that would be great. 
mine is lowered and I use 2 slash cut 4x4 peices of wood to drive the front wheels on and jack up by the cross member, the back dosent need to be rolled up on anything if your jack is low enough, otherwise there are two spots on each side before the fenders where a lift would jack from, you can use those also..... just remember to let the front sit just a hair lower while draining and also drain for a good hour before refilling...
btw.. lol

Mines low. But I am able to get a floor jack, underneath the front or rear cradle. I Don't really use any wood.
At work, I jack up the rear of the car, high enough for the arms on my lift to get underneath, then I use homemade jacking pucks. Works great, and my car never sits on the body, since the pucks are about an inch thick.

jacking up a c5... I actually sprung for the "lifting plates" from Mid America Designs. They really made things a whole lot easier. They pop right in the little holes on the underside of the car. I've never had any problems with 'em. Good Luck...
