Cool Jack

Found it at J-Walk:

Lift your vehicle in 30 seconds without straining with an awkward, unstable jack. Simply fit the Air Jack's hose over your exhaust, position the airbag under the vehicle, and turn on your engine. The exhaust inflates the bag, lifting the vehicle to 17". A one-way valve keeps the bag inflated after the engine has been turned off. The durable Air Jack was originally designed for rugged off-road use and works in mud, snow, and uneven ground where a regular jack cannot.

And to answer the first question that comes to mind...

Has no negative effects on the engine.

Buy one here for about $130 crisp.

Leave it to a bunch of poor folks to keep trying to keep the internet "local". Go to the Grapevine if you want to chitchat.

In other news, the tailpipe of a running car gets as hot as all hell. Hot enough to melt through the triple thick sole of a shoe. Of course they forgot to mention this part.

"A one-way valve keeps the bag inflated after the engine has been turned off." Does that mean it comes with a knife to pop it once your work is done?

Actually, by the time exhaust gas finally reaches the tailpipe, after passing thru a catalytic converter and a muffler, exhaust gas temperature is around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Although that is rather warm, you obviously need to buy better shoes.
