Any one own a KwikLift? I'm thinking about buying one.

My garage has a low ceiling, but I'd really like a lift.

KwikLift drive on lifts, 2 & 4 post lifts, home, commercial, car, truck, forklift maintenance lifts

I do not have one personally...

But I do know a SCCA Member in Albq, has one for his Miata and loves it.

There have been several members who bring a car and borrow it for a couple days.

Race ramps make a drive on one that you can dissasemble. The problem is it cost as much or more than a lift.

It's on my list. With an 8-foot garage ceiling, it's my best option.

For me, still having to lay on my back would kind of cancel out the whole reason for getting the lift in the first place. I think I'd go for a twin post body lift or nothing at all, especially for the price some of these things go for.

I am 24 and already sick of laying on my back. First big purchase in the new place will be a lift.

yeah thats pretty cool but im kinda the same way, a two post lift is much more usable, ie, doing stuff when you need to take the wheels/suspension , ect off. but useful for those with 8 foot ceilings

Oh this is pretty cool! I might need to get one. With my single car garage this would be great.
I imagine it'd be pretty easy to set the car on jackstands after using this to lift it up?

I had been looking at these for a little while:
Aluminum Super-Long Car Repair Ramps for cars, trucks, & low profile vehicles

You can drive it up, remove the ramp part (so car is just sitting on "blocks" essentially), then jack the rear up onto jackstands.
