A set of Rhino Ramps is not much more expensive and you will have them for years.

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.
