Honestly I thought any lift that doesn't actually lift a car high enough to get under it is pointless.
That is until I saw my friends work. They detail cars and use these "Costco" jacks and he swears by them. They do PDR, vinyl wraps, and full detail and ceramic coatings.

that see-saw lift does look like a terrible idea. and i don't think many cars would have suitable lift points right in the center of the rocker panels.
my neighbor installed a lift in his garage that only lets him lift his car about 40" off the ground. he's old though so its mostly to save the body from strain.

I know the see saw lift would smashe the nose of most of my cars, and the rear of the lotus. Dumb idea.
Most modern unibody cars have a 'frame rail' type structure along the edge that would allow lifting there, especially spread along the rail like this does.
Getting cars partially up definitely helps for everything but actually crawling under, it only slightly helps that.

This looks like something you'd find in Eastern Europe

Sounds like my MaxJax lift I installed a few months ago. I love this thing.

basically that, except imagine a big ass Roadrunner on the lift. and a small 2-car garage. and he's wearing orthos, not nikes. the glasses are right, though.

Lot's of changes for me lately! I quit my job and started working for National Tire Wholesale last week as a Business Development Manager and am training in Chicago all this week with them. I love it so far and it seems like it's going to be far less stressful with a higher ceiling for me. Good news is this means I can unload a little more in my Retail Customer thread! I also need a new company vehicle which I get a monthly allowance for. As of right now my wife and I are looking at new campers this year so I'm looking to get into an F-150 for a company vehicle and to tow the camper. I've looked at a couple '19 XL STX's with no success and all of them have kinda been what I want. I found an '18 XLT that comes a little more loaded than the XL and has the Sport appearance package.

The current gen of F-150 drives so well. Amazing truck
My dad has a '16 5.0 and i've spent a lot of time driving it and it's great. I've spent time with it in downtown Chicago and it doesn't feel it's size. I like them.
I'm looking at this one on Thursday on my way back from Chicago. I've already negotiated a price so hopefully it looks as it should and I buy it.

I agree, why waste you time with an F150 when you can get a raptor for the same price? On top of that, you know damn well it will hold its value unlike the F150.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

the same reason you don't buy a Corvette or a Hummer: people will think you're a douche, even if you are in fact, a non-douche.

Who wants a dull old truck when you can buy a "Sports Truck" There is a reason we all have a BMW. We want a "Sports Car"
