Reply to "Car lifts"

Dennis is right, the Direct Lift seems like a good model. I went and got Direct Lift from the same Quality Tool & Equipment in Temecula CA (I assume Direct Lift may be nation wide thought. Was only about $1,699 and they delivered and set up for a low cost. I would never pick up and assemble, damn thing is heavy! And if "you" do your own assembly and by chance your car crushes, maybe ask your insurance company if they would cover for that after you did the assembly. Make sure you measure whatever lift you are looking at. My garage is 98" to top and the cars just fit nice. Bottom car has about 2 inches of clearance from roof to lift. You may have to back in your top car though, since the garage door will then clear the short front hood rather than the big rear. This is where Valium comes in...these cars hard to see when backing up in any environment. Now just try backing up on a ramp where you have a few inches clearance on both sides! My GT5S and Group 4 are so wide that about 1/4 of tire tred sticks out on both sides, so I need to get pretty exact. My technique is the wife, where she stands at the rear of the lift pointing left or right while I back up, and she sniffs excessive hydrocarbons. Who said the wife isn't useful?
