    I don't think that is what they meant when the manual said to block the wheels to keep it from rolling!

    You could get a bit more room under the car if you set the blocks on end!

    I'd be a bit worried about one breaking....

    No problem. I think these cars are equipped with automatic electronic shock absorbers to compensate for quick bumps and drops.

    They do and that is why it is specifically recommended not to use them for that purpose.

    If you need a set of jack stands, I'll be happy to loan you some. I have about a dozen. A cinderblock split and dropped my car waaaaay back when I was a teenager, and I decided to not be that foolish again.

    They don't work well for a trailer jack stand either...

    for the 328 easiest method for changing the oil is those yellow plastic ramps you can buy at Walmart etc. just back right up them, put some kind of block in front of front tires and then get to work. Ramps may not work well on all Ferraris because of rear clearance.
