I would hate to go back to not having one. I have one in my garage at home. John (works for me) can have my engine out in 45 minutes, easy. Makes all maintenance much easier. You will probably find yourself not using a floor jack for much anymore.

I have one short stall at the back side for the lift. Can't even see that door from the street. Just looks like a three car garage from the street. Can't tell, with the doors down, that part you can see is also three cars deep. If you are thinking about coating the floor, do that before you move anything into it or use it, while the concrete is still clean. I did that, and had to stay off it for a week for it to harden. Cleans up easy. I had a five ton AC unit installed. 100 degree Oklahoma summer outside, 72 degrees inside when I need to use it.
Can't wait to see how your car runs.

It's been ~105 lately inside my insulated shop on the weekends. That's with doors open and fans blowing. There are some days I don't last more than 20-30 minutes before I get a case of the skrew-its and go back in the house.
I was hoping for some rain this coming weekend, just to cool things down. No such luck.
I'm going to be painting some parts this weekend (built a small booth in the shop), and that tyvek bunny suit gets awful hot awful fast. I may try to sleep all day and work all night...
