You should be getting plenty of comments on that Sprint. It's a great
looking ride, and rare in the Elky world, I would think, in your excellent
condition. Be proud.
My jack has only been on the ground once, but it worked just fine. Kind of
nice that it is so flat to start with. And not so scary as a bumper jack.
