You must be on the skinny side! I can't even reach the tranny mount with it on the ground.
I use ramps 90% of the time. If I use the floor jack or emer. jack, it is always backed up with a jack stand, sometimes two.
However, I have changed the starter, a couple of times, in the parking lot. I raised the side of the car just enough, with emer. brake set and spare tire underneath, to reach under while all four tires still remained on the ground.
Using the spare tire, you are in there for the jack anyway, can be a lifesaver for emer. roadside repairs.
