I've run out of garage room, I'm parking a 2004 Explorer Limited outside and scraping ice off it each morning. I'm over it. I've moved my boat up to Wisconsin because of no room, I park my trailer outside. My Torino is in our warehouse with machines infront of it, to get it out I'll have to use a for truck. I want it home.

So I'm putting up a 2.5 or 3 car garage with a lift, heat, and AC this summer.

Need suggestions on type and brand of lift.

Thanks.

There are some guys on NSXprime that use the "Lift King"

This particular model is about $2900.00 (Canadian $$, I think)

Electric 4 post. Maybe I should ask this on the Corvette Forum, those squirrels do all kinds of weird shit to store their cars. One guys got a "boy in the bubble" type thing blowing heated or cooled air into it as needed.

I was thinking of a center lift where I could get the arms out of the way. This turd looks like I'd be tripping over it all the time unless the car was in the air.

This is a completely useless post, but I know there is a guy in Indy with a Diablo who owns a lift company. I don't remember the company name and I don't even remember his name, but Rick will probably post it when he sees this and Rick could probably tell you more about the company too

Thanks Dan. I'll look at them and give him a call. The garage will have to be 2 stories over the lift or I'll be smashing my almost bald head.
