I have a low profile jack, by virtue of my skyjacker rideheight up front, that I can get to the front crossmember without having to do anything like drive onto blocks of wood, etc. I can get the car in the air pretty quickly. That by itself made me less prone to going homicidal while working on a car.

I have to use ramps to get under the front spoiler. That's not so bad - I have some low profile ramps, easy to drive onto, just high enough to get a jack under there or change my oil.
But in the rear I have to put a block of wood on top of my jack pad, because the m-coupe diff cover hangs so low I can't just jack under the diff like normal... and then I have about 1/8" of travel to pump the jack up (good thing it's a decent jack). the worst part is the coilover springs fall out of the perches when you jack up the rear, so when I lower it down I have to just let the tires touch, and then monkey around moving the springs back onto the perches before I can lower it all the way. ugh.

The width is 11'-6' on the base then add the posts so it's about 9'-6 on the inside with 4 swing arms. The height is 8'-4 after measuring it out. Thinking garage is gonna be to short. Will have to raise the roof at a minimum of 4 feet but I think I might purchase it anyway.
Appears to be in good shape and owner said he is willing to barter as well. Nice older guy who is a word of mouth business guy for boats. He happens to know some of my coworkers so it makes it a small world.

My father in law's shop has a pit that runs the length of the shop, I use it all the time. It is kick ass when you need someone under the car and someone under the hood at the same time. Way easier than lifting the car up and down on a lift just to check something up top. Engine swaps are easy as pie to since I can just pull one of his service trucks with a crane on the back and move it around with the controller.sigpic
