can't wait to see that in your garage!!!!!

No sure if I am going to get it. lifiting the car up on one wheel is just ... nuts. Two post lift is the right way to go but takes soo much space. I need to arrange my garage first with some nice cabients like the one shown below

That is really nice...plus it stores away or if you trailer for a track weekend you can easily take it with you.

Izzone should have one of these for his Mancation's.

I've seen these lifts used at the race track by pro teams, but they use 4, one at each corner ... Money is no object, right!

These lifts would be hard on the sway bars/drop links/mounting brackets if you only lift from one side/wheel. I've broken a rear drop link mounting brackets lifting my 993turbo from one side.
