DOES 200,

I did not even consider the earthquake thing -- but it does make sense to consider. I was just thinking about the earthquake thing a little more, and if there was the BIG, HUGE one -- now just stay with me -- how would it affect the car on the top, and bottom and possibly to the side? I mean, with so much lateral motion, would the car come off the top if it was not tied to the lift? What about the lift itself? Would it also move enough on the flat steel pads if not bolted down to slime the bottom or side car with a steel leg? I am in God's Country in the midwest, so I did not even consider earthquakes. I am sure that cars on the west coast have gone through this before, anyone have any stories on how their cars survived, with a lift in the mix? Great discussion.
