Hi all,

I want to thank everyone who has given me some advice and tips. I have yet to make a decision but I really do appreciate everyone’s response. That’s what this forum is all about.

I've got no interest in taking out transmissions😄, but there are a few "normal maintenance" jobs that the scissor type lift tends to get in the way of.  A friend who has one uses his to raise the car, then slots in extra long axle stands and lowers the lift and moves it out of the way.  That seemed a bit of a faff to me, hence the Quick-Jack.😄

I have a 10 foot high ceiling but have to take away at least 3 feet due to the garage door hanging in the space when it is raised.  A 4 post lift would be nice to have but I would have a project to do on the garage door first to be able to use it (get the tracks closer to the ceiling).  And I know both of those expenditures would not make it past the "secretary of the fiance".  🤣

A Quick Jack would be a nice addition to the garage equipment but again would not make it through the annual budgetary process.

So for the foreseeable future a floor jack and jack stands will have to suffice when working on "BLKBRRD".  Regular maintenance on the daily drivers can be done easily enough with a pair of drive-up ramps.
