probably not since I'm planning on the next two Oakland events instead and August is booked solid for racing
but then there's always that last minute desire to go somewhere ... would likely be SUnday only or something, the two day weekends really wipe me out

1. Baghead. Funded/closed/paid in full.
2. Woody. Funded/$30k hard dollar deposit/Scheduled to close July 9th.
2. ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOSE. Partial pay/bulk in 6 months.
Whatever...I wish I just held on to my old house. This experience has been both painful and costly.

And I came in last again, in the camp of still looking to buy our first house in Bay Area =)
Anyone who's got hydraulic lift installed in the home garage? Any pointers on what kind of garage I should be looking for during housing search?

Just a casual research shows many different lift configurations: 2-post, 4-post, floor-scissor, and etc. Some interesting links:
Guides:
http://www.europeancarweb.com/tech/0...ift/index.html
http://workshop.bobvila.com/Article/883.html
Manufactures:
http://www.aclifts.com/autolifts/2post.asp
http://www.americanautomotiveequipme...-Lifts-s/1.htm
Under $2000 is very doable $-wise, I'll just have to work on selling the idea to SO =)

I have a couple of friends with lifts in their garages...of course the one garage (tho one where I'm doing the restoration of my Tiger) is a little over 6500 sq ft, so finding space isn't a problem...
Anyhow, if you want I can find out what they went with and why. I do know that, once you've had access to a lift, crawling under a car on jack stands is even harder...

That doesn't count then...so, tentative results on the "who sells first" challenge:
1. Baghead. Funded/closed/paid in full.
2. Woody. Funded/$30k hard dollar deposit/Scheduled to close July 9th.
2. ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOSE. Partial pay/bulk in 6 months.
Whatever...I wish I just held on to my old house. This experience has been both painful and costly.

Oh, by the way, this weekend's AAS event was kick axx...if you like higher speed autocross...I hit an indicated 105 in a stock motor, auto trans C6 on Saturday, when things were really open and nudged the rev limiter in 3rd in a SS class Z06 (about 95'ish?) on the "tighter" Sunday course

I know concrete is not really "relevant"
...but, Atwater is a great place to autocross
Hopefully I'll be at Oakland, I may just take the RV and go fishing next weekend, life's been a little hectic and I need a "time out"....
