    Default OT: Car lift? How about Car tilter.

    Wtf. I've never heard of them, doesn't look like I'd use them either.

    they have been around a long time in the shadetree restoration biz. it's a bit too risky for my taste.

    Works, DIY, and cheap. Would I get under a nearly 4,000 pound bimmer on a wooden ramp? Probably not. But man would this thing be handy, im tempted.

    a ramp or a pit is fine until you have to work on suspensions.

    I bought a drive on 4 post lift a few years ago, easy install as it isn't anchored to the floor. Just invite 3-4 friends over as the sections are really heavy.

    x1. £3k (not dollars) for a good one installed. You can do it cheaper. You cant put a tonne of car on bricks if you want-I will hold your coat while you get under it
