Default Finally got my GS into the garage

I've had my car now for about 3 weeks and been praying every time there is a bad thunderstorm at night that there isn't any hail or anything crazy since my GS is sitting out on the driveway.

Well - I finally got it so I can fit all my cars in the garage.

Nice combo! Reminds me of mine back in the day. How much clearance do you need to fit the lift?

Holy ******! You are living my dream.

1. Always wanted an S2k (got a great deal on a 350z instead)
2. Always wanted a lift in my garage

Dude, great minds think alike... I have the same combo in my garage, except mine are berlina black and nebula gray. I need to get a lift like that, my wife doesn't like parking outside

LOL - yeah I definitely want to lower it at some point, don't really understand why Lexus raised the AWD models but my car is a lease - so I'm thinking I might wait and see if I purchase it after the lease I will lower it then

The prices vary greatly on lifts depending on the brand you go with. I decided to go with a USA made ALI/ETL certified lift to ensure it is as safe as possible - they cost a little more. The company I went with is Quality Lifts, their parent company Challenger Lifts are a pretty well known commercial lift manufacturer so I figure they know what they're doing too. The price of the lift was $3000 for a 9000 lb lift.

That's amazing! Looks like you had to have the garage door supports raised too.

What keeps fluids from dripping down on the GS?
