I am ready for a better creeper to get under the Audi and not get stuck in the garage cracks anymore.
So if you had to get a new creeper, what would you get? Craftsman, another Harbour Freight, I saw something called the BONE that looked interesting. I do want this one to be the last one I ever buy, if that is possible.
Suggestions?

Got cardboard? I don't have one =( I am stuck on the cold, damp, hard floor...
I am actually in the market for one as well.
-Although-
once I put the new suspension on the car. Now the car is even harder to get underneath and work on (with ramps). I even had a hard time fitting underneath it recently just doing an oil change...
Looks like I will be using the floor jack and jack stands for future underneath car work instead of ramps.
I should just get a lift =P

The Griot's Garage unit with the adjustable angle headrest is nice

I just use a lift or alignment rack....
but if I had to get a creeper I'd either go cheap and get the harbor freight (honestly, their tools work fine, just don't buy them for everyday tools), or I'd fabricate one using some plywood, casters, foam, vinyl/pleather, and maybe some bent metal to get the creeper closer to the ground, but I just look for excuses to build things.
