I was waiting for it to fall down. I don't see any lateral support at all.

LMAO. As I was watching the video I was thinking I hope their house has a nice high fence around it. I could see that thing shearing someone's pet, or child in two. As the video came to the end, the sponsored video that popped up was "SAW V".
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

Yeah, you'd think somehwere along the line they would have bought a bigger house with a propper six car garage, but...who knows

Maybe its a simlar situation as if you like living in Birmingham, but there isn't any house for sale that would hold the cars, and isn't any property left to build on thats big enough to garage them either.

Either way, its pretty interesting.

At first I thought there must be a basement under the house that is connected to the hoist area, but it sure doesn't look like it. I hope the warranty includes a 24hr on call technician.

I would imagine that there is a hook of some sort that a crane can hook to incase of lift failure.
