Ouch. That is an accident waiting to happen. Lifts are really not that expensive! Just buy one!

Just b/c it's made of wood, doesn't mean it's not safe. Houses support a lot more weight than that car. It needs to be built right, of course.

"It needs to be built right, of course."
When you look at it , does it look "right" ?

I absolutely agree, with the proper inner supports, this would easily hold up a car. I have not had to analyze wooden structures since my college days (35 years ago), but box girders are extremely sturdy. ….most bridges are box design, do you stay off of them?

Me likee the "padded creeper"...

On a serious note, that first (home-brewed) support has a 'problematic' height-to-(footprint) width ratio.
And strength? -- who knows? Durability? -- the same.
Binny better have his will written.

Now, let's get back to our lovely padded creeper...

Hell, wood has been proven to be able to hold up an entire TREE!

Its the ramp leading up to the box section that would worry me.
