I've always found it interesting to observe the door closing characteristics of cars when jacked up...that, you can see.

Some older cars, you can't close their doors if you open them while they are jacked up or on a lift. The openings change shape that much.

My little 72 Fiat 500L is that way. Even though it is a two door sedan (I LOL at the DMV's classification of this car) with a hardtop, it has a canvas folding roof panel that makes it quite twisty. Doors won't close again if I have it with just one wheel is lifted off the ground, so now I do all servicing "in halves" either lifting both side wheels or both on one end. I have even been tempted to roll it over on to a mattress to service the underside.
