when lfting a car ALWAYS put something like a brick, wooden block on 2 sides of opposit wheel, so it didn't roll.

For example - if you jack front left wheel - block rear right.

Yup I know, it wasn't that the jack actually gave way under the weight of the car.

^^ something happened to weaken your jack in the past. Our jacks are pretty strong.

Could have I bought the car used(from a hyundai dealership). It had 45,000mi already on it when I bought it so I really have no clue as to what the previous owner did.

I didn't know hyraulic jacks were that cheap! going to go and get one soon. scissor ones were a good invention, but now it's time to upgrade.

sorry to hear about your fender man, but it's not their fault these things are eqipped standart in all cars. you have to be very careful when doing this and if you do it right on the right surface usually you get no damage. plus the first owner might have done something with it so you never know. i left mine out in the rain one time and it rusted and now it's super difficult to turn it. go to a bodyshop and have it repaired.

How much cash is this gonna cost me(its really not as bad as I thought nobody can really tell unless I point it out but I can tell and thats all that matters)?

Walmart has a small thin aluminum floor jack for $20, but if you look on the packaging, it says

Not a tool, for display only

Just thought i should point that out to people.
