These are great for quick access such as oil changes for those with smaller vehicles...or larger vehicles if you dare. I have a Mini and a Passat that they work great for and haven't personally had any issues.

These things are worth more than every penny, when you see how much time and effort it saves you.
Simply drive up, no jacking it or using jack stands needed (for safety, you may want to use jack stands, that being said, I dont)
If you don't have a car with wide tires (my car has 255 front (10") and 285 (11") rear), then buy the regular RhinoRamps, or if its under 12k pounds (supports 3k per ramp, 6k per pair... can only use 1 set of ramps at a time
Just make sure to follow directions, and actually have someone watch you drive up the ramps, so that you're centered on the ramps, and don't drive onto (or over) the lip at the end of the ramp plateau.
All the crushed ramps you see pics of on amazon reviews/etc, are because they didn't center/stop properly...or they used them on uneven pavement, like a gravel driveway, dirt, etc.
IF you have a low profile car, you may need to build extensions from wood planks. It's 17 degrees max, my car is 11 degrees. (Under $20 including screws, if you get 2x12's...2x10's if you do the regular Rhinoramps...can get away with 2x8's. All depending on your tire size. Remember that these measurements are when wet, so 10" is more like 9")

The pics online are usually pretty clear, ie, the wheel is past the lip. The ground is gravel, etc. It's off centered.
And the failure is always when the person is driving onto the ramp, not while it's supported already.
