Had to choose between using ramps or jack stands on a BMW 5 series yesterday

I went with the ramps because I was feeling lazy but the front bumper scraped the whole way up and now I've got a 3 inch scratch I have to explain to the owner, has anyone else had a ramp disaster like that?

Oh man, I felt that scrape just reading this. Nothing screams "pro mechanic" quite like watching a bumper eat the driveway while you're trying to save a few minutes. Hope the owner's got a good sense of humor and a touch-up paint pen handy.
