VERY Nice! I guess when the garage is on the small side, like this one, it really comes in handy.

Nice Road King Classic! I got the same one.
And I agree with other post...why is the Vette up top and covered during this time of year??

The 7 series isn't much fun to drive. My sister has one and it drives like a tank. Being chauffered around in it is a pretty pleasant experience though.

Awesome. You've inspired me. How much does a setup like this cost?

Well, I got real lucky on the price. I had my car tuned at IPS in columbus (Thanx guys!) and they had another client who bought a house with this lift in the garage. I paid about 1/3 the price of a new one, way less than a grand. I have a good friend that owns a tire shop for 30 years and called his 'lift guy' who moved and installed it for a few hundred. I have just over $1100 in the setup. I had to rasie teh ceiling, which was a lot of work and maybe another $150 in lumber. That's it. I love it, worth every penny and sure beat the $30K+ to extend my garage.

I think this particular lift runs just over $2K from America's PRide Lifts. I'd recommend it for sure.

For those of you who commented...the bimmer is on top all weekend...starting when i get home Friday.

And...the 7 is the best car I have ever owned all around, hands down. And this is bimmer #4, vette #6, couple 67 Camaros and various and sundry other cool cars. Sweet quiet ride, real nice power, great at 120MPH+, handles like a dream. It does have a physics problem (weight), but that's why we have the vette, right?

Good call on the Road King Classic. I put a Sundowner Solo seat on it for my big butt and its a dream to ride.

Thanx for all the nice comments. Bear

Very cool. I live in earthquake country (So. Cal) and I'd be scared that I may damage 2 cars in a strong quake. I already had my basketball court fall on my Lexus and wreck the fender and hood. The court was cemented in the ground but cracked at the base during an earthquake. I'd definitely do it if I felt it was safe.
