No, no, no! You need to learn the exact angle of outward lean to which 
you need to position the jack (depending on type of surface) so that at 
full extension it is perfectly vertical. This is, of course, documented 
in the Nonexistent Virtual Owner's Manual, available from Vaporware 
Press. Or you can wrap a thick towel around the head of the jack and hope 
for the best....

If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
