These arn't the best shots of the cars, but I wanted to take the plunge and see if I could at least get a pic on-line. Self-esteam is in storage so I'm ready for the: "YOU SUCK AT THE INTERNET" and I'm sure I'll hear it if the pics don't show. You'll note the C3 is below the C5 just in case the lift collapses

It's a DUPLEX single post lift I've had it for over two years. Single post against the wall doesn't take up any functional space. It's supposed to be very nice this weekend (60 degrees plus) so I'll get some pics without the cars so you can really see it. I've also built a "chair lift" which goes up and down to the ceiling with two recliners so I can watch the 5 TVs out there in the man cave.
