I drove by two lots stuffed with old Mercedes, like you'd need to move a couple to get to the one next to the fence, ... would like to stop bu nowhere to park a 65' coach & towed car.

John, can you raise those ramps up to horizontal when you have a car on it? Would make it like a mobile lift.

No, they're fixed in place. But that's one helluva an idea!

I"ve thought of putting some cylinders in, and changing the front bolts on the angle to tubing from a loader with grease fittings for just this purpose.
but I'll probably just leave it the way it is.

there is PLENTY of room to work under the car when it's on the angle ramp. I can totally stand up in the bed below a car. it works fine as a lift without any lift needed. kinda difficult getting under the car... could pull it up further, then lower it once I'm under, but that don't sound too smart...

That's one of the problems, love to call them but don't know the names of the lots.
