Same. It is nice having a bank job that is mandated by the feds. If my job ever goes, I figure there will be much larger issues afoot than unemployment.

yep. if the hospital goes dark and they dont care; Rusty, ghostvette and a few others will be doing bird calls in the wilderness to communicate with each other at that point.

Then we come back to reality. Would need to win the lottery. This place is just fine.

I have a load of space under the Z right now with the ceiling height as is.

That’s a damn good idea, our garage has an attic, we could in theory one day do something like that. Just need to find out if the concrete slab can handle the 4 post lift...

4" thick slab and no more than 1/4" slope per 4", that is for my bendpak. I think those numbers are correct

The weight is distributed over a large area with the 4 posts. I love mine.

oh and i didnt bolt mine down and it is solid. you can even get a caster kit for moving the lift (no car on it) around the garage. I hard wired mine to breaker box but you can easily toss a plug end on it and it would be "mobile".

Swift springs and koni yellows will match or beat any of the lower end coil overs. We ran those springs and stock nismo shocks on our old nismo and it was very good on track.
