I see broken plastic parts in you're car's future with the use of this thing.

For a car, I don't see any advantage of the bag over the good 'ol Al U Minium jack. And, the handle extension doubles as slip on leverage for your 1/2" and 3/8" drive ratchets.

Lift up the car by the wheel so you can get a jackstand underneath

if your car is lowered, make sure its a low profile jack. and the aluminum jacks are lighter.
