imagine where all the weight is going when you jack from the middle. you have half the car's weight pushing down from both ends of the car.

if you jack it from the pinch welds, not only are they reinforced, but you are only lifting a quarter of the car. most of the weight will be pushing down on the 3 other wheels that are still in contact with the ground.

get a pair of used jack stands from craigslist for like 10-20$ and do it properly. save your car. save your life.
