Those are rubber. The whole point of the foam is to take the shape of the tire and prevent flat spotting.

Got my GT3 early this year and put her to use right away ! She's from Texas so I cut her a bit of slack in the experience dept.

Lift is a Rotary Revolution. More $$$ than the chinese cheapos out there but ...

I think the ceiling height is 12' or so. I really should have a wall mounted opener but am going to sell the house within a year or so.

Sorry for the crappy blackberry photo but I took this last night after waxing the daily driver. I've had the Porsche in storage for a few weeks now.

I think we need to start a new thread or sticky called "Garage ****".
Then we can all show good & bad, before & afters etc.
I'm sue many would like to see what we're all doing with our man caves.

What are we looking at here exactly? It looks like some sort of plastic walls around the hoist which hermetically seal the cars from the surrounding environment.
