What are some inventive and original ideas people use to raise their car in the garage? I removed a tranny today, and had to get the vehicle pretty scary high to slide the tranny out from underneath. Very scary with jack stands on it.

I could build a ramp for it, but would I be gaining anything over using a jack? At some point the ramp is going to be built too big to fit under the bumper, right?
