Sure life is great here in Ca., but Tom's California (and garage) is a lot different than the rest of the state!!! He lives in "Pontiac Heaven" while the rest of us mere mortals here in Cali, live in awe!!! When I grow up, I want to be like Tom :>)

Tom S-- the garage with the Tempest seems 1/2 empty, where is the lift?? I would feel like I was missing another Pontiac that would fill the absolute huge "Pontiac" hole in my life------- try and bare up under the strain of such a minimal Poncho collection, don't hesitate to reach out for support in your time of need--I'm there for ya buddy. PS: Can I come by and take the TA for a spin? For old times sake :>) I wanna be your new best test driver friend-lol

Hey Kieth, enough about you, now tell us about your cars. Easy now --I'm just kidding, and I can talk fairly brave since I'm on the other side of the country and to catch me to kick my smart ass, you got to be able to run at least 100ft in soft sand (at the beach) without spilling your beer and tripping over all the T&A !!

I can see rationalizations all over the place for stacking. It is a lift and it keeps you from having to build another building AND it gets that last car inside. I think I might be able to see one of these in my future. Kind of creepy having a 4500lb car up in the air all the time though.

Ditto :>( Cali does have at least one drawback..... come to think of it, Cali has a ton of drawbacks. Eartquakes aren't that high on the list..... don't get me started!!! They will have to pry my cold dead hands off the wheel of my Poncho Steering wheel!!!! (heart attack from the price of fuel)

Embrace the Z axis! Hopefully this year I will have three, 4-post lifts in my shop ... to house the '62 "six-pack" on the footprint of three.

(BTW, yes I said 'six-pack' - by June, I should have pared down the fleet to six (from eleven this time LAST year!)
