Scissor Jack Warning (mine collapsed this weekend)

The 1960’s Porsche 911 and 912 used a similar (same?) jack, no surprise. It did, indeed, work great on my '69 912 – until the body rusted out around the jack point and the car settled slowly to the ground as I jacked it up. I had to get a scissor jack to replace the original. And the car was only about 7 years old. (I realized a little later in the car’s life that Porsches up to that era were believed to have super longevity only because their owners were willing to spend lots of money to fix them whenever anything went wrong.)
