Car ramps

Anyone use car ramps? I have a set of old metal ones that I don't feel safe driving on. I was thinking of going today to get a set of the newer style plastic ones.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks!

No more Pepboys around here, they all closed down years ago. I will try Walmart tonight and if they don't have them then Autozone on the way home.

I bought a pair of Rhino Ramps a couple of years ago from a local auto parts store. They're great.

I think I paid about $40 for them. If you can get them at Wal-mart for about $20, that would be a great buy!

just make sure the surface you use them on has some grip to them otherwise you'll just be pushing the ramps instead of going on them.

Rhino work well, my older metal one would scar the asphalt a bit. WalMart had the best price at the time.
