Not all plastic is created equal. Some plastics are stronger than metal

Knowing my luck I would unbox the ramps properly and pull my car onto it, and then about the time I climb underneath the car, one of the ramps would split, and down the car would come on top of me.
Since when are cars made of iron?? A lot of cars these days don't even have iron blocks. I have used plastic ramps with no problems. I also have a set of metal ramps that are bending. In my opinion I don't see one to be better than the other.

Re: Daylight Running Light Not Working

Most cars I've seen, even today (and especially the better ones I've been around), still have ferrous body panels, even though the block may be aluminum. I guess how well plastic or metal ramps work depends on what you use it on (metal seems to work better on dirt and gravel, whereas I guess plastic is good on paved surfaces). Meanwhile, back at the ranch, let's get those daytime running lamps burning!

Yes, the weight figure I gave was probably a bit high.
