————————————————Needs me to tweak it. But, it’s installed! Geek Squad were nice, efficient and helpful!
Looks a little small. I thought you were getting the 65 inch nonbendable model. Still looks good though. Good luck with it.

Back in the days when I actually moved, and moved myself, with the help of U-Haul and friends, the most dreaded piece was the convertible sofa. Seriously heavy, it had to be tied down so that it didn't extend itself in the elevator. Yeah, ask me how I know.TVs are not that heavy. They can be carried. Try getting a fridge down steps with a turn like that.
Good? times.

I have a huge ceiling in my “garage” - I park my G90 in my parking space in the great outdoors.🤪😜
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
thanks. one thing I can guarantee if I do get one, is that I will not be attempting to install it myself!@stickguy said:
Speaking of garages with tall ceilings (I think the side of mine without a drop must be at least 18’) I saw a pop up for one of these and got to thinking. Might solve my space issue!

Oil changes, for what you "might" save, better to take it to the guy.————————————————Speaking of garages with tall ceilings (I think the side of mine without a drop must be at least 18’) I saw a pop up for one of these and got to thinking.

Yeah, why not? Great way to do your own oil changes, but you gotta keep good oil change documentation.And, at this time of the year a great way to spray the salt off of the underside of the car. You only need a hose and a hooded rain coat to do that. Both of those could be a good side gig when you retire,

Wash salt off the underside of the car....best to go to the guy at the car wash, better than making a mess of your garage.
For more helpful hints watch for my posts.

————————————————-Even in an earthquake scenario, if the BendPak is installed correctly, I'd fully expect the garage to come down before the lift does.The people at the end of the block has one of those. Never talked to him about it but he does have a rather pricey vehicles above and below it so he must trust it.
Although I keep expecting to see a car sandwich there sometime.
Yeah, but either one of those scenarios ain’t good. Kinda like pick your poison.

I agree. However, it seems as though @graphicguy bought the cheap unbendable model.
