Ahh I was thinking I could do that too. It would have to be a better jack than the one from our mercury, worst designed jack I have ever used, took me 30 minutes to get the car up enough off the ground enough to get off the tire. But I am thinking I can store a scissor jack or a small bottle jack under the rear seat along with other emergency replacement parts
