how do I put this car on ramps?
how do I put this car on ramps?
This is my first rear-wheel drive car and my coupe does not want to go on ramps. As soon as I try to drive up the ramps, one or both of the ramps shoots forward about a foot.
Should I just put something heavy against the wheel ramps to prevent them from moving? Or am I doing something wrong here???
Update:
----------
I was wondering why everyone else with rhino ramps were having no problems putting their cars on the ramps, but my rhino ramps were shooting all over the place. So I looked at my rhinos and noticed that the rubber feet that were normally installed at the base of the ramps had both fallen off. I found the missing ramp rubber lying around in my garage and replaced them and now my rhinos are holding up my crossfire with ease. Thanks for those of you who gave me positive comments.

Get yourself a good set of ramps and they won't slide on you. I bought these ramps for my Crossfire before they started installing the rubber soles on them and I have never had them move.
You can get these ramps from the Ramp Connection; they are not cheap about $250 but definitely worth it if you work on your cars.

And remember, loads of these people are out on the roads with us, doing whatever they do. So watch out for them, because they're certainly not watching out for you....

What does owning crossfire have to do with your lack of intelligence?
And ofcourse I will get the crossfire, my wife needs a daily driver
