I bought this at Harbor Freight for $79.95:
It's slightly smaller than the typical 3000lb. racing jacks but has the same lift capacity. It has a maximum height of 15-1/8" instead of 17-1/2", but has a minimum height of 3" instead of 3-1/2" (great for getting under our lowered cars).
After owning a 2-ton generic jack and using a full-size shop jack, this has got to be the ultimate compromise. It's small enough to throw in the trunk and big enough to lift your car without fear. Of course, it's only offered in Volkswagen blue!
