Can I change fuel filter, spark plugs and oil without jacking up the car?

Hey... that's my neck hair trimming mirror.

I would have used jack stands and my floor jack, but it was one of those deals where I was already half way in when it dawned on me that perhaps the ramps, while the easiest and most stable solution, were not the best for this application. I blame homebrews.

Kinda like the time I used a Hi-lift jack to change a tire on a Land Rover in the shop. Of course it fell off the Hi-lift, they are great for trail repairs but dangerous as hell on a cement floor. Then I tried to use a fork lift to lift the back of the Discovery off the brake disk and put one of the forks through the back window.

I should have gone in the house before the whole incident began.
