They know what they're doing. The blocks are oriented the only way you should ever orient blocks to hold something heavy - with the holes vertical. And they've got the wood as cushions, placed over the thickest part of the blocks, along the edges.

I've put a few cars up on blocks. It's nice to see that the art has not been lost.
