I dont think this is the correct answer by a long shot. There are "hardened" point under the car for jacking etc. If you look on the side of the car there is a u shaped channel that hangs down, towards the front tires it has a reinforced end. Towards the rear tires there is a metal plate that is bolted in to the hard point. Both of these are fairly easy to spot. I wish I had a pic to show. The only problem is jacking and then putting stands. Usually I get a nice 2' section of 2x6 and run it under the rest of that U channel. you can lift the whole side of the car this way. Perhaps someone else can chime in on jacking but thosejack stands belong under the hardened sections. Also when jacking always have something softer than metal inbetween. Always chock your tires and always put the car in gear AND use the parking brake. If the parking brake has not real effect then fix that first.
