$27 at AutoZone
I think I paid $27 at AutoZone for a set of sturdy yellow ones. The front lip didn't clear it so I put a pair of 2x4s in front of the ramp to get it up enough to clear. DON'T USE 2x4s TO SUPPORT YOUR CAR! (I know you wouldn't, but I had to say it). Once I'm past the 2x4s I'm sitting on solid steel of the ramps. You also have to watch for anything you drive over to slip out and launch itself across the garage so be careful.
As long as we're on the topic, I have a silly question... If you want to jack up all four wheels, are jack stands really safe? It didn't look like it to me, so I am using these monster wooden blocks but they don't get it up as high as the jack stands. I haven't done much work on cars, but it just didn't look safe to crawl under something I can't (quite ;-) bench press when it was up on four jack stands. I had this image of my wife coming out and leaning on the car while I was working on it and collecting the life insurance.
