Check this thing out. Says you can leave fluids in. All you need is a structurely sound vehicle. -- Better empty out your storage containers. Might be ok for some of us that have 8 foot ceilings in their garages.

Interesting, couldn't work on the suspension though since the thing is bolted to the hubs. I was going through the FAQs and this one kind of contradicts the main description:
10. Q. What fluids and other components need to be removed or secured prior to the tilting operation?
A. Remove the vehicle battery to avoid acid spillage and the possibility of electrical shorting should the battery detach from its mount. Remove fuel from the gas tank, fuel lines and where applicable the carburetor float bowl. Although not always necessary, remove the engine oil and tape off the dipstick tube, breather and filler cap. Either empty the windshield washer reservoir or tape it off to prevent leakage. Other fluids such as brake, hydraulic clutch, transmission and differential may remain in place. Secure any loose items in the vehicle interior and trunk.

Now that is scary. If I had a turd I cared nothing about, I might try it. But I would rather someone else try it first with their cars, I don't think I will.

So if it worked as described, completely safe, easy, etc. what would you actually use it for? You can't do suspension work as it's bolted to the wheels. Other than cutting/replacing rust I can't think of a use for it. I guess MAYBE you could do exhaust work but who would buy/use one of those to replace a muffler?
