Jack vs Ramp

[tunk]

Hello,

Someone can probably help me out very easily here, I am looking for the most secure way of getting the front end of the car up and don't know whether that would be by my purchasing jack stands or ramps. Any opinions would be appreciated, I just want to be able to do a little work under the car without worrying that I'll be "that guy" that got smushed while working under his car (what are they, the Darwin awards right? I don't want to be on that list if I can avoid it).

Thanks,
CDT
