I have thought a good bit about the pros and cons of pits, because I need
to expand my garage. Apparently lifts can be had for about $2500, and
could be moved from house to house. A lift would be a good deal more
useful and flexible than a pit (e.g. raise the car up to buff the sides
or work on the brakes), probably safer (no evil fume collection), easier
to install, and maybe cheaper.
