Default Surprise B-Day gift from wife
So my wife gets me what I have been wanting for some time now.

Guy comes out next week to relocate my door and put in a new opener so I can go all the way up and use the 11.2 ceiling.

Yup, PP8 with 1 sliding jack. Pretty happy about getting it as a surprise from the wife.

I can't really complain, at least she got me one to start. I can see how it goes and easily add the other one later.

That's way cool! I want one! (The lift... I'll keep the wife I have - much cheaper that way..., but can you send them somewhere... some sort of re-education camp or something???)

Great gift Paul. I went to purchase one after we got the E55 so that I could stack the M3 and 996 and keep all three inside...only to realize that I thought I had 10' ceilings but they're only 9'3"...so no go for me.

Enjoy that thing. They're outstanding to have around.
