:sadwavey: My family has owned a auto repair shop since around 1920 in baldwin/whitehall. well around 7 months ago a guy came up asking about buying the place… 1 thing lead to another and now its sold, its no longer ours as of aug 2nd ☹ i’ve done all my work up there and now im going to have to do everything at home now. big thing im gonna miss is the rack and the tire machine… its going to feel wierd now that i have to go to the place to change my tires and such… hey! but at least my garage at home is fully stock now :naughty: ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/garage1.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/garage1.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/garage2.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/garage2.JPG) ---

Fully stocked garage w/ blow up doll :kekegay: LOL At least you have a garage at home, laying under the car in a garage is better than laying under a car in the driveway 🤣 I’d be most upset about losing the lift ☹ I want one in our new house 😃 Almost have hubby convinced as long as I change the oil in the truck 🤣 _how many oil changes equal the cost of a lift? :ugh:_ ---

Let’s say roughly $3000 for the lift, $500 installation. Lift=$3500 4 qts oil $6 + Oil filter $4 = $10 Cost of oil change at shop = $30 (30 - 10)x = 3000 Only 175 oil changes! And that doesn’t count any other work you do. Tell your dad to put one in at home Shelby, just knock a hole in the roof. ---
