Bought a lift for my GS
I bought a house with a 24'x24' with 10'ceiling, heated, with floor drain, attached garage. Then I bought a lift. I was just wondering who else has a lift and pictures?
Now I can detail my underside of all three of my cars!

Congrats. You will love it. Sometimes, I wish I had bought a 4 post instead of a 2 post.
9000 lb lift...lots of elbow grease, time, and cut up fingers, but well worth it.

The red Backyard Buddy lift also has two bridge jacks, which allows each end or the entire car to be raised by the frame while on the lift, makes removing the wheels a breeze - pretty much allows the 4-post to be used like a 2-post as long as the lift's ramps are not in the way for what you want to do.

Got my lift about 7 years ago to build a FF Cobra kit. I've done some pretty creative work with it. I work alone and the lift has been my extra set of hands in many cases. I've supercharged my C6 using this rack. I have a split ceiling 6 car garage, half with a 10' ceiling the other half a 12'. The lift is mostly used and shown here on the 10' side. Takes me about 30 mins to move it over if I need more ceiling. Definitely far far more flexible than a two post fixed lift.

Those pipes shine up so well almost looks like chromed.

Plus it would pay for itself just being able to do your own work/maintenance/mods on your car

First lift was $1800. Took an afternoon to install. Super easy.
2nd one was $1800, same deal. $3k is on the high end.
