Yea… the storage lift is kinda weak, I understand for storage, but if this garage is going to see any kind of use, why wouldnt you have a 2 post? ---

I don’t like the lifts the raise the car on the tires… It’s pretty stupid if you ask me as most the common work is going to be brakes and rotating tires. ---

It seems to be the case, most of the time…as well as this time, that those lifts are used for storage.

I have talked to this guy, the lift isn’t just for work, more for placing one car above another. let me see if i can dig up the thread that he posted on autopia ---

Well it is obviously for storage, thats my point. I was just stating that if he is actually looking to use the garage for any work, I am surprised he doesnt have a 2post in another bay. ---

wouldnt a 2 post lift be just as effective and safe for storage? you can just set it down on the locks ---

Is a guy that owns those vehicles really doing his own work requiring a 2 post lift? I doubt it. edit: No shots of actual work being done, and he seems to not own a car long enough to do anything to it. He sold both Porsches along with about 7 other cars since having the garage. ---

I dont know about that one he has, but the one at my friends shop had a thing where you could raise the front/back of the car about 6-8", with it on the lift so you could do various things with the wheels off :tup: I want a lift… it would make so much shit easier… I’d never bring my car anywhere ever again to get work done lol [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/best-realistic-garage/7866.md?page=2)
