[/quote] That's what I do, you pay small quarterly penalties, but it's worth it not to give the govt an interest free loan all year. [/quote] I don't know what interest rate your bank pays.. but it is next to nothing on my accounts. Not worth the hassle.. Also, in my state if you don't pay enough during the year there are penalties along with the interest and they compound.. If I have to pay the state.. Why not pay both and not be on their radar.. Just my 2 cents worth [/quote] I guess if you only have one option of where to put your money all year, in your case an interest bearing bank account then it doesn't make sense. But I prefer to be able to have my money all year to do all kinds of things, and then pay the man at the end of the year. |

There is another alternative to the scissor, two-post, & four-post lifts. You can go with a single-post lift. It's portable and can be moved around the garage with built-in dolly. I haven't tried the 914 yet, but I suspect I'll need some 2x ramps to drive it up onto to clear the 4.5" base. Comes in 110v or 220v. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1191-1482106572.jpg) That.s cool. How much? Quess I shouldn.t have made the comment of the refund thing given the direction of the thread. I like the portability aspect. |

I have the Greg Smith 4 post with two of the rolling bridge jacks. I have been very happy with it overall. The bridge jacks are great in that the let you get the suspension in the air.
The four posts are not ideal for dropping 914 engine, there is generally too little room in the middle (although it can be done). Some models let you turn the runners around but then you can't mount the bridge jacks. I do believe a two post such as the (DanMAr MaxJack for home garages) might offer more flexibility for vehicle servicing. The downside is ensuring your concrete slab is sufficient for bolting down the two post. Lots of info and opinions for various options (including single post) on garagejournal. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I don't think standard 4" slabs are adequate from some of the disaster stories I have read about 2 post lifts. If I was to anchor one down I'd use a structural epoxy and make sure the pull out resistance more than equals the requirement. The surrounding concrete needs to be sound as well. For a 914, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. This is gonna be my next purchase I.m getting to the point where I just don't like rolling around the ground any more. |

Just bought a Bendpak mid rise scissors lift at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $1795 out the door with local pickup.

The MAX JAX comes with some heavy duty anchors. Just drill a few at a slight angle then it's impossible for them to slip out. LMK what size anchors your using and I'll loan you a big assed roto-hammer drill that will drill each hole in 15 seconds. |

My garage has an average/low ceiling so I put in a Bendpak P-6.
