Here is another way that is more fun. Jack car up with trolley jack under rear of car until wheels are clear of ground. Warm up motor first in neutral, then shut down. Now with car in top gear or 4th if you have a Tremec or similar OD type box { It needs to be in a direct 1 to 1 ratio } start motor and run up to about 30 mph with the clutch pedal depressed, now have a helper drop the jack under the rear end and be ready for a quick departure. It should go without saying that this needs to be done in a safe area with a bit of room in front of you as well as making sure that the jack is not going to get caught on any part of the car. It is a bit scary the first time you do it, but it does work.
