I don't think anyone has mentioned you can work on your car inside too.  
I'll never forget the cam swap we did at Mid Ohio in 2002.  I have an 
18' Haulmark with the slanted nose.  I believe the slant nose helps with 
the gas mileage, but unfortunately they no longer offer it.  I used to 
get about 9mpg with my 2000 Expedition.  I always wanted a diesel, but I 
didn't want to go to a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.  Unfortunately, no US maker 
puts a diesel in anything smaller, but the Germans do.  I replaced it 
with a BMW X5 3.0 TDI  which pulls stronger and gets 50% better 
mileage.  Ok, so it was a little pricey. As Scott said, it needs an 
anti-sway device.
