Thanks for that post. It seems more practical for the casual "do it yourselfer" than getting the big two poster hoist. I like it!

Re: In this thread we post wh0re!
A post from another forum that has the pleasure of my company.
Postal Service since moving to Florida has been a nightmare. I'm starting to understand why many eBay vendors won't ship to Florida.
My latest experience highlights what you can expect in this place. I had two boxes of books shipped to me last week, one with fifteen and one with twenty books. These from a quality dealer that I've dealt with many times in the past. First box arrived Saturday and perfect condition--packed securely and all fifteen books individually wrapped.
Well four days later my box with twenty books arrived, but since didn't look right I opened the box then and there. The box contained five books and only one of those still had the wrapping on it. Where the other books should have been was filled in with paper, an instant noodle dinner and a pair of childrens jeans. When I had the supervisor come out she started to explain to me that I wasn't supposed to be shipping noodles and blue jeans by media mail. My wife was with me and said I could have explained a little more diplomatically that some damn postal worker had replaced my books with crap. I asked this highly paid postal genius to weigh the package and see how that compared with shipping weight and see if it may have been tampered with. Well the package weighed in at little over thirteen pounds and the shipping weight showed forty three pounds. So they gave me a number to call, but said since media they could do nothing for me. All I can say if shipping to Florida be careful.

I'm thinking about getting one of these off Craigslist for my garage. Does anyone on here have experience with this type of car lift? This one will safely lift 6,500lbs.

Re: In this thread we post wh0re!
Out of boredom I went online to see what HP/TQ my car makes at the crank. I was quite surprised it makes such good numbers for being a 11.3 car. I guess I need some good DA.
Anyway, here are the numbers:
To the wheels: 558 WHP / 720 WTQ
At the crank: 655 HP and 850 TQ
It is still slower than Steve's f'ing lightweight Porch.

Yea, those are crazy numbers based on 17% loss. They crowd up my sig too much so I removed them. As for the warranty, the ABC pump went out and is being replaced. Hopefully that's the only issue.

Re: In this thread we post wh0re!
Hell yeah lol. Some serious, not playing around numbers. Can't wait to see what times you pull off in the fall.
That sucks. As a whole, there isn't much to worry about on the AMG's but the couple things that do go, are pretty damn expensive. On the 55's, they had a fuel sender issue and it would leak. There was a recall but the part they replace with is faulty too. If I end up with the issue it's like $1500 if I do the work myself lol. Mercedes wants $1100 per corner on the airmatic
... Needless to say I'll just go with the arnot's at $450 per lol.
