LOL. It's the anticipation anyway ... I ordered a car lift from Rotary

It was delivered and installed Friday afternoon.

I've never owned a "custom" fishing rod.
BTW, I talked my wife out of a Mustang, but no choice as of the moment.

How high is the ceiling in your garage? I was considering a lift to add
another car. I knew a guy in IL who has a Viper and a Ferrari - both
short cars in a 9' high garage.

The little woman loves her Toyota MR2 Spyder - I hate it. I've been
looking at new cars and am leaning toward the SLK350 but I wouldn't want
to park it outside. Her "go-cart" could easily fit under the lift. I'm
just not sure I have the clearance for the car above it. I'm sure as
soon as she drives the new car, the Toyota will be a memory and we will
have a lift for sale...

The ceiling is just short of 12 feet ... 11' 9", IIRC. But there's an
enclosed steel I-beam that runs across it plus the garage door opener motor
that is mounted slightly below the beam level. I thought I might have to
remove the motor and use the door manually, but it worked out ok for these
cars.
Height to the bottom of the garage door motor is 118". The two cars in the
pictures are just about 55" high each. (they were low in those days) You
have to add the thickness of the lift ramp which is 4", yielding a total of
114". So, the GTO's roof is just about 2 inches from the door motor and the
Charger has 2" of clearance below the lift. Close, but it makes it. I was
concerned that the position would not be at one of the latch slots, but it
turns out they are adjustable, so it all worked out.

The lift will go higher. One of my options is to put the '46 Ford
convertible on top with the roof and windows down. The windshield will sit
forward of the steel beam enclosure which will allow the lift to go all the
way up. Doing that, taller cars, like Mrs.E's 750 will fit under it.

Fortunately, I have another two car garage attached to the horse barn that I
can use for the taller cars.
It's not as roomy, but it's heated.

These would work for boats too if your garage is tall enough. You can order
them with solid floors rather than ramps, although I wouldn't. The ramps
are quite wide ... about 18". I ordered two removable drip pans that can
either slide the length of the ramps or be removed. It's nice to be able to
work under the car and have access to the chassis components.
