Talked to my builder about a lift.. I don't believe it is high enough... did have him re enforce the floor... Opens vertically.. It's a heavy B****!! Needs two motors to open..

Mark.. yes, the driveway WILL accomodate my slammed car...

I would have made it 3 wide or at least 2 deep on a side, nice to have that extra workspace if you like wrenching your own rides...Driveway looks long and a consistent angle, should be fine.

Toque - always dug your wall-o-posters, wont work for me...got too many cabinets! Did order the Cut-Away Poster, shows a MYz next to a C5R both Cutaway.
