Well I can imagine that its hard to work under a 6ft lift when your are 6"5

I actually think that a lift can get in the way of useful shop space.

The ceiling is too low in that particular shop for a lift anyway.... Isn't it?

I remember it being pretty low in there. Maybe put one outside.

Well it certainly is much harder to work under a 2 foot lift (AKA Jack Stands) when you are 6' 5"...however you look at it, a lift would be great. I believe Pierre is among those of us who are passionate about what they do and struggle to charge people what they should. I run a Computer business here in Ocala and I am the SAME way!

I'm down...who's got the air conditioned hanger we can use? I'm pretty sure we'd melt otherwise.
I'd like to see the next one at one of the state parks in the Orlando area. Something with some shade, bathroom facilities and a place we can park the cars together without minivans trying to invade.
