Thought I would finally upload pictures of a used Kwiklift I purchased last summer. It's came in handy already for my Z and my son's "Fast and Furious" crowd.

I don't have a picture of it laying flat, which is the mode it stays in when not in use. You can park the car on it when flat. It supports up to 5,000 lbs and can handle up to a 142" wheelbase. The ramps extend. It also came with a steel bridge (seen under the car) which you can use to span the two ramps from which you can lift the car off the ramps for suspension work using a bottle jack.

The Kwiklift retails for between $1,400 and $1,600 plus shipping which could easily add another $300-$400. I picked mine up on Craigslist for a fraction of the cost. It lifts the entire length of the car 20" off the ground giving you great access to the chassis, etc. Obviously great for oil changes, tranny or differential work. Even when laying flat for general parking, it lifts the car up 4" or so if you need quick access. The only disappoint is that the powdercoat finish is rather thin and has bubbled and peeled off in a few areas, but it is 10 years old if I remember when the original owner said he bought it.
