Floor jack placement

Along with the vice grips I would put pieces of heater hose on the jaws to protect the paint.

There is an area where the unibody seems to "meld" into a framelike structure that resembles a component of a traditional H frame or ladder chassis. This "frame" area can be identified by beveled "holes" about 1.5" in diameter in the center of each area. If I had to guess from a finger feel, it's about 12 to 14 gauge steel, closer to 14.
It is clear to me by the compound bends of the framework combined by the beveled holes that this was the place to lift the car. When I rotated my tires, this is the area that I used.

Yeah, my dad and I were trying to figure out a good spot to jack it up. I'm planning on changing the oil on my own for the first time this week, and I would like to rotate the tires soon too, but I wanted him to help me now because I'll probably do it when he isn't home. I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to get under the car as-is. As for rotating the tires, that I'll wait until he's there to help. I'm not very good at lifting the entire car up....
