this is a mod I am working on as well, thanks for your insight on this...I have 10' ceilings, and am working with garage door people now to extend the track up and moving to a wall mounted lift for the door...not sure which car lift to purchase though...I will only store my lawn mower and Harley below my car...so I think I can get by on the height...any thoughts? I too, like the toys. I got to ride a Spyder a few months back...I was picking up a load of 4-wheelers from a dealer, while waiting he offered to let take it for a ride...it is amazing, faster than what I imagined...
