I wonder if some of your upgrades offset repairs that would have otherwise been needed.

Default I don't think so, most of the upgrades are cosmetics.....

Default Threadjack - How are you liking that lift?

And what's your garage height?

I keep thinking I should get one of those.

Default It's a great lift! I just wish I had bought it sooner.

I had done most of the work on the cars before I got the lift. Our garage is 10 ft tall.
I can just about fully extend it.

Cons:

1. The arms could have been a bit longer, you have to park the A8 perfectly centered for the arms to reach the jack points. I'm not sure if they would reach on the A8L. Then again the A8/A8L are BIG cars and you can easely have longer arms made.
2. The lift is a 1/2 inch to tall for the D2's (lowered) to park right on top of it.
3. It's heavy!! Even though the lift has wheels you pretty much leave it in one spot.

There is another AW D2 member who has the same lift, maybe he will chime in for additional user input.
