[Roadsters] off topic - 4-post lifts

[David Bentz]

Hi Bill,
There are several companies out there from both US and abroad. I looked
into this a few years back and it looked to be about 2k to get the job done
for residential use.

At the time, from what I found Rotary was a good company to purchase it
from. It seemed like they were widely used w/in the car community without
any problems of collapse. I would look at how the locks are setup w/in the
metal and how secure they are.

Also I think you need to think about more than just putting the 240z on
there. Think of it as you are the only guy in the neighborhood who has a
truck ("yes it's my truck, no I won't help you move"). If you have one of
these, you are going to be the best friend of all of the local car guys,
who i'm sure could find a need to 'come visit' and borrow it. Maybe you can
recoup your costs in a few months. so exactly where do you live...???? ;)

Enjoy,
Dave
