Sweet, I've always wanted a car lift. It makes working on cars so much easier. I still have a sore neck from getting under mine. What did that run you with installation?

Sweet, I've always wanted a car lift. It makes working on cars so much easier. I still have a sore neck from getting under mine.

Trust me, it is like having an HDTV PVR (or even an SD PVR), once you get one, you will wonder how you ever lived without it !!!

What did that run you with installation?

That one is one of the new Rotary (inventors of car lifts) InBay Technology 8000lb asymmetrical 2-Post Lifts. Retail cost is around $5000. I got mine thru a distributor(friend) for $3250 delivered and my wife and I installed it ourselves. It is so new it is Serial #2 and they custom painted it red for me (normally blue) !! I think Legendary Motorcars of the Speed TV show "Dream Car Garage" got #1 (also in red) and the other Speed TV show "Two Guys Garage" has one in standard blue.

However good, light duty 2-post car lifts can be bought for around $1900 or so.

Since I was only going to get one lift for my racing/restoration garage I opted for the latest and greatest, sort of like a 921... should be ... soon.... I hope

By that, I meant that I don't have an elaborate home theater system - no HDTV or sophisticated sound system at the main TV.
