Head space is from the floor to the cars roof.

I am speaking of a car lift not an elevator.

O, OK, then I do see that as a potential problem.

I guess it’s no problem if you have a hole in the living room floor with railings around it.😁

When I say "elevator" I mean a residential passenger elevator. It's part of the plan, tentatively, but I don't really want to admit I will ever need one.
Cause if I need one, that means I'm no longer hiking and have actually become "old" and marginally disabled. I have hope I will die in my sleep before then.
My dad lived to 83 and never faced that.

If you had that, then you could elevate the Crossfire up to be a centerpiece of any party

With John Denver's song 'Forest Lawn' playing while the car elevates to the party-goers... OMGawd too funny!

When your knees go, the second thing to go is a 2 story. A cane, walker, or a wheelchair can navigate a ranch with wide doorways.

......making your garage bigger and with a lift is less than 2 months in assisted living..........party big. You and your savings should end in a tie.

Well, the designer has had my notes and wishes for one week. No word yet.
He told me to give him ten days or so, and he will have tentative sketches ready.

I sit here with ants in my pants.
