i agree.... and don't forget, if you've ever been underneath the nsx, you can appreciate how low it really is..... if it falls, you don't have much of a chance. i'm always uncomfy for the first 10 min i'm underneath a car.... even if it's properly supported.... i'm paranoid, but i'd rather be that than not have it jacked properly. it's probably also a good idea to listen and look too. the nsx chassis is friggen stiff..... one time i jacked it up, and it was being supported by only 3 of 4 of the jackstands........ that being said, make sure you're on very level ground with this car
yes, jack stands are sturdy (as long as you put the car on them properly, on a flat surface), and they are probably the best way to go to put the car in the air (short of a lift)...
just NEVER use a hydraulic jack by itself.... the valve can start leaking, causing the car to come down slowly.... use them for lifting ONLY- get some jackstands under the car right away

i know somebody whose father died because a car fell on him.
take the proper precautions.... and make your way to the rear of the car - it's more fun
