Congrats on the R. I saw a magnetic R and black R in person and the black with black stripes looks downright menacing.

That's not a garage, that's a parking stall. Where's all you junk?
I got a little junk some might say but I built this more like a house with temp control/audio/bathroom and upstairs man cave. I like it clean. The kids know this is dad's garage no kids junk allowed. it goes to another area.

It's a deal to me. I can't find one for less and I want it now so there you have it. I had put a deposit down on a GT3. But when I passed a few GT3s at VIR and then got passed by a Shelby I said forget that! This is a deal if you think of the cost difference vs performance on the track. One thing I've learned is you will never be faster than the next guy and someone will always have a better more exspensive car than you but what makes you happy is only understood by you. It's pillow time that I need. I.e sleep well with no regrets and I am sleeping well with this R PURCHASE!

5-19-2016 it was sent to factory as a order. I had ordered it with deposit from the dealer a month earlier. They had to wait for state rep to ok it before sending on.

Thanks, good to hear. I've got a '17R order that was placed 6/1.

Go with the 4 post if you are looking for easy install, low maintenance and a breeze to put a car in the air. Your not crawling on the ground moving arms and hoping you have the balance right. Most of my work is oil changes, detailing and just extra car storage. Get the "jacking tray" if you will be pulling wheels.

Unless your just going for storage and not work i can understand the 4 or 1 post lift. If your wanting to do wheel type work etc a 2 post would be best. You can find some that sit at an angle so you can open your doors easier.
