Alright that technically qualifies as a Fall pic :roll: . :lol:
Nice garage, though. Do the hydraulics depend on power supply or is there a safety feature for stability?

Rob, even my wife is jealous of your garage! Someday. I'll have to fix the rear main oil leak first though!

Rob,
I’m curious Which lift are those and what is the maximum height they are rated for in locked position
I’m in the process of building my garage and looking at lift options

They’re the Quality Q4P07 model by Challenger. I have a fairly tight space so it’s the smallest footprint fully featured ALI certified lift I could find. It has some nice features such as 7000# capacity, all the locking hardware is internal to the lift and columns and it locks every 4” of rise. Highest ramp locking point is 63” clearance under the runways, the car underneath would have to be 60” or so max... no problem for roadsters 😁

Full specs for it and its bigger brother Q4P09 here: http://www.qualitylifts.com/pdf/Q4P07%2 ... 20dist.pdf

Rob, it looks like you have roll up garage Doors? I have been looking at doing a rack like this in the future and realizing that my garage doors and the openers would need to be changed.

I also wanted to comment on Alvin's fender/leaf reflection... like a mirror man, beautiful!

The doors are Trac Rite 944 roll ups: Trac Rite 944
I paired them with Liftmaster 8500W Wall mount openers to leave as much ceiling clearance as possible.

Now, enough aboot my garage and back to leaf pics!

Both Michael and Alvin's pics are spectacular!

Oooh, I want a lift too! The beauty is I can get another roadster! But that pdf didn't include price.

Last drive of the season had some great fall colors here in Chicago, it’ll probably snow on Thursday.

Took a little trip around town at lunch time to see if I could find some colorful backdrops. Sorta settled on a slightly Halloweeny theme by cruising through one of the large cemeteries nearby.

This first picture includes one of the more famous residents. Behind the iron fence in the background is the grave of our 13th President, Millard Fillmore.

I caught a couple of characters trying to take off in my roadster...luckily the sun came out and foiled their plan!

Took a drive a couple weeks ago to enjoy some of the last nice driving weather (or so it seems) here in the midwest. Following the Halloween/Cemetery theme from above on one of them! Forgive the cell phone quality pics. Enjoy! Happy Roadstering.
