Hey jeffcoslacker:
Thanks a lot for you reply and the image. It really makes things much more clear. Just before I am jacking the car, I want to make sure that I understand what you're saying correctly.
I use two black arrows pointing to the "rails" on the box channel where is safe to put jack stands. Is that the place you refer to?
Thanks a lot.

They are about 6-8" inboard of the rocker panel rails where you'd put the little jack the car comes with under...just look under there, farther in towards the center of the car, you'll see what I'm talking about.
In this picture you can see the red "rails" running from just behind the front suspension towards the rear of the car, ending about halfway back...they are just outboard of the exhaust system. Anywhere near the front of them is a pretty good jack stand point.
