I encountered one problem. A friend and fellow Boxster owner had visited to observe the oil change process. When I was driving my car off the ramps one of them shot out from under the wheel and nearly hit him. I don't know why it happened. I suspect it was a combination of agressive tire tread pattern and applying a little too much gas.
I have the Rhino ramps too. They are great. But the exact same thing happened to me. When driving back down the ramps the left rear tire spit the ramp out and it went flying almost hitting my cousin. Wheel torque + light weight ramps + smooth plastic surface under the ramps = be careful driving off them.
