The ultimate cobra building garage

I've seen these used, not sure it was the same brand, problem is where to store them when not in use. If you have the space, sure go for it.

Will probably end up with a scissors lift table in the floor

I suffer similar circumstances. Low roof line and limited space.

My dream garage would look something like this:


But in lieu of having the cash and gumption to pull that off, and while I'm dreaming, I've been eyeing off one of these in-ground versions. http://powerrex.net.au/brochures/Powerrex_SL34DX.pdf

Similar to this:



But with this type of lift for more access under the cobra.


I love the way you can essentially store it away without issue (ie: buried).
I'm trying to convince myself to justify the spend but if I'm honest I'm pretty hopeless with any "real" automotive work. I figure maybe, just maybe, I could convince the myself and the wife it's an in-ground a table, it's more likely to see use that way.
