Thus, I had to search for a practical solution that would allow me to get to the underside of my 1800 without breaking the bank. I finally found inspiration in a 31-year-old issue of Practical Mechanics magazine, and thus, the Ramp Pit was born.” – Link.

Wow, now that looks lethal!
I’ve seen it in real life, and while the above photo might look less than…safe, the actual construct istelf is quite sturdy. I even jumped up and down on the car like a rabid spider monkey and the thing didn’t even jiggle.
All right, I made up that bit about the jumping, but it really is quite steady.
