Without a lift ,GM does not want you to raise both sides of the front end at the same time is my guess. But you could lift one side, place a jack stand under it and then lift the other side.
I think that picture is the United Kingdom version. You know how the have everything on the wrong side over there.

I don't think it is a United Kingdome Version. Good guess though ..
It's just looking at the frame from the bottom side and not from the top.

I guess I need to ask this......
What does it matter if you are looking from the bottom side or the top? The exhaust outlet is still on the wrong side!!
(look at the rear of your car FROM THE REAR....and imagine you slide under feet first....the exhaust outlet is STILL on the left)
However, you can flip the car over and look from the top down to view the tailpipe on the right (or for that matter, view from the bottom up).

Hello all,
After reading this and many other posts on the topic, it is still very unclear to me where to put the jack stands for front-end type work. In the past I've used the two holes that sit in a little bit from the arrow indicating where to place the jack ... the metal definitely got a little bent when I did this. (Incidentally, should I be worried about this?)
Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

There are frame rails, well the unibody equivalent, that run front to back and are thick layered steel. In the above pic the stand is on it. I use that for jacking and put the stand right next to it on the rail.
