I am too.
My driveway is sloped perfectly so that when I get the back of the car on the ramps, it sits level.

I can only use ramps for the rear ,car is to low in front? Or am I missing something?

Mine too, I have a place right when I back out of the garage where I can back on to them and then the car is perfectly level, and also a place out front. My only issue is sometimes when I drive off the ramps it will shoot one of the ramps backwards and drop the side down more rapidly. So now I just have somebody push me off. For an oil change it is plenty of room. For probably everything else I would just jack it up and put it on the stands. I have the heavier duty rhino ramps, and I have never tried driving onto them from the front, I am not sure if it would clear or not.

Edit: I guess I am "a" Boxster Steve too, but not "the" BoxsterSteve

Mine clear just fine from the front.
I once shot both ramps out about 40 feet with the old 5.0 'Stang.
Just because.

maybe the rake on a 02 is different than 00? My ramps are rino as well, anggle could be sharper on them.
