<VV> Re: Lift deal

While that drive-on lift is a fine deal, I would never have a "drive-on" lift 
except for storage. The good part is that they are very easy to get a car 
onto.  The bad part is that you are constantly bending over to get under the 
ramps, you can't work on suspension without purchasing more stuff, the ramp is in 
the way when you do suspention work, the suspension is loaded when the car is 
stored, and you need friends or a come-along to put a non-runner on the lift. 

For the same money you can get a 7000 or 9000# frame-lift where the only 
weakness is that it's harder to "rack" the car. 

To put the "bending over to get under the ramp" in perspective... bend down 
about a foot and then walk about two feet bent-over everytime you walk to your 
car from the toolbox. Repeat this duck-walk about 100 times- see how old it 
gets.
