worst car jack ever

when i was installing my rear splash guards, i used the jack that came with the car so i could take the wheels off and get in better, and that was by far the worst experience i have ever had with a car jack. it took me close to a half hour to get the car up for each wheel, and then another 5-10 to get it back down when i was done because of the horrible design of the jack. and this was in my driveway with a nice area to work. i wouldnt even want to imagine what it would be like on the side of some road with a bad area to work, or even worse, bad weather conditions. i know im going to invest in a nice hydrolic jack soon before i need to jack the car up again, and i suggest to everyone here that you try your jack out and see just how bad it is, so you can consider replacing it before you get stuck and find out the hard way

When I had a flat tire, I had AAA do it and the guy used the stock jack. To say the least, I can tell he didn't like that lil' piece of sh't. It took him about 5 minutes to raise the car, and 3 to let it down. Just... get another car jack. To think. I looked at this thread cuz it said "car jack." I was thinking someone's car got jacked.
