First go to uhaul and rent a cherry picker. You need one that can hold at least 2 tons, but it has to have short enough legs that it can slip under the front of your car. If you're lowered you'll also need wheel ramps to jack the front of the car up a few inches.

Go to home base and get some chains and straps that will allow you to attach the cherry picker to your radiator cap. Jack the cap up around 36 inches, and roll a Honda civic underneath. Carefully lower the cap. Instant 750# weight loss. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
