Living life correctly
I found a file folder my wife had created called "Bad Cop, No Donut" at least she has a sense of humor....
2013, the Limerock edition is "1 of 200" but it's nothing special other than the custom Fire Orange color. The carbon fiber bits and performance exhaust that it comes with, can be had separately. I will post more shots tomorrow, next to Rumble Bee. The V8 power plant is lovely but make no mistake, Bee will sting it all day long, any day!
Thank you. Bee still wins any and all measuring contests.
eah, thanks. The wife yelled and yelled for all of 5 minutes, as I was trying to explain to her that she needs to think about the ticket as a form of a compliment from the state trooper for driving the car the way it's meant to be driven! Her answer: "you're spinning!" But of course I ///M. Speeding tickets have such a negative connotation anyway!
More pics tomorrow...and thanks to Stout and others for the kind wishes.

Finally got the lift installed today.
Bendpak HD-9ST (narrow version).
Super easy to operate. One challenge is that I have about an 1 3/4 inches of clearance on each side to get on the tracks, before scratching the rear rims. I may have to back into the garage and leverage the rear camera/parking lines.
Unfortunate the space is such that it won't allow a wider lift. Such is life when you have a sad garage, at least it's full with fun cars!
Now onto the obligatory photos.
Cost: 2870
Optional low clearance ramps 400
Compressor 160
Install 1000 by Masterkrafters of Middletown. Highly recommended (no affiliation).
Shout if you have any questions

Quick update on the lift. Super easy to operate but getting in and out was a 2-person gig due to the narrow dimensions of the lift and a super wide GTS butt
The size of the sad garage precluded us from buying a normal width lift and that left me with about an inch of clearance on each side before the metal brackets of the rear posts would chew up the rims.
The solution: makeshift ramps to raise the tracks and get additional clearance.
Project cost: $200
Labor: 2 hours of which 1 was spent getting the plywood and cuts at the local Home Depot
