I feel more secure stretched out under a car raised on a set of ramps than I do under jack stands. But, I have learned caution over the years.
I use jack stands for jobs that don't require me to go under the car such as brake pad and spark plug changes.
I bought a set of Rhino Ramps and a pair of hard rubber wheel chocks a long time ago and they have paid for themselves many times. With a Boxster, the savings on one oil change more than pays for the ramps.
