You're talking about that bitchin' Porsche/Cracker crest on the wall, right?


Wait a second... I can see it coming:
"Hey Chris, how about a Chevy/Craker logo...?"

When's your birthday?

That crest on the wall looks so bitchin' it's like something Chris would make.

Awesome Tony, gonna be nice to have. Talk about a perfect fit!!

Your only question will be why it took so long.

Now you need to add lights in the floor!

Nice addition to the “cave”.

Nice lift, if only my garage ceiling was taller I'd have one

Nice Tony-

lifts are a must have assuming you have the space which you do.

Love that wall art..what a centerpiece.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! it will make reassembly of the teener so much easier and finally get to do it within my own garage - yay!

Mike: This lift is really unique and might be a good option for many others here as well. The "highlights" are detailed below - pretty cool lift that has only been on the market for a few months.

1) They come in three variations for lower ceiling heights: 8'10" - 9'10" - 12'6"!!!
2) The columns and base-plates are half size/footprint - I wanted maximum room to move around the lift.
3) The cylinder is located in the crossmember - not the column (allowing it to be so narrow.
4) There are four 3/8" cables - two per side.
5) Bi-metric arms; kind of a cross offering both symmetric and asymmetric benefits.
6) Double safety lock mechanisms (I like duplicity).
7) Probably MOST important it ANSI/ALI ALCTV certified!
8) Price is very reasonable - this one was $2700 - waaaaay less than the Rotary I was also considering!
9) The one downside is it is a 7K lift - my 1-ton truck is a no-go.

Very cool ! I remember when you won that Crest at the WCR in Mammoth ! It goes well with the Rack; Congrats !

That should lift more than just your spirits. Nice.

Posted by: horizontally-opposed Aug 10 2018, 09:10 AM

Now, that's a cool detail. That front end is alllllll business. Do cars simply get out of your way?

Posted by: sixaddict Aug 10 2018, 09:19 AM

That looks like a "pro" drivers car........

Posted by: Freezin 914 Aug 10 2018, 03:37 PM

Sooo jealous, but congratulations on the lift!

Posted by: Cracker Aug 10 2018, 04:02 PM

I have only spent 1 day on track so limited sample size - cars do seem to be willing to make way. A little better than a 914 in their rear view mirror. LOL
