Due to security reasons, Paypal has now changed their rules for donations to the Hurricane Fund. They are no longer accepting 3rd party donations, however donations CAN be made directly to paypal by clicking the link on their homepage. Paypal had told us they would transfer all current donations to from our account to theirs, but have now changed their stance. Reluctantly, all donations to date will be refunded. I apologize for the inconvenience, but strongly encourage those of you who have already and are planning to donate to still do so.

put it on the frame itself, it carries the rest of the vehicle.

Every car is different old cars were easy rear differential housing and cross member under the engine in front. Now with lots of aluminum parts and independant rear suspension about the only places are the pinch weld seams under the rocker panels. There are special jack plates with grooves to lift the car using the pinched weld areas. If your brave you can lift one side of the car at a time that way. Now where to place the Jack stands?

what car?

On the steel frame of the car. It is the only safe place to lift a car w/o doing any damage.

most newer cars have a contact point for a jack under the body directly behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels.

If you have access to the manual they usually indicate factory specified jacking points, if not, look for where the axles or torsion bars attach to the frame or unibody as these are engineered to transfer the weight of vehicle+payload to the road, engine pans will collapse and lifting on the transmission alone can rip the driveline loose. Unibody cars will distort and if rusty collapse entirely, even framed chassis vehicles will do this when rusty, so it's always a good idea to use jackstands or concrete (not cinder) blocks, as jacks themselves can fail, tip or roll.

The Best Place To Use The Floor jack is on the chassis/ frame of the car, floorjacks are commonly used to either the rear or the front end for minor repair works, so I feel that when doing repair work on the rear end the best place to put the jack will be right in the center of the rear end, make sure you lift the car from the frame, or as you mentioned, you would have to shell out a lotta money for damaged body works.
