And yes, mine will be a two post lift. I'm no a yuppy.
Im probably the Yuppy you are referring to. I'm 64 years old and hate getting down on my knees 4 times on a concrete floor to position a two post when I can just drive onto a 4 post. I also no longer build stuff myself because I want better stuff than I have the ability to build and I can afford to have better guys do it. I spent about the first 10 years of my adult life working on a large farm as a mechanic overhauling everything from pickups, Kenworths to Tomato harvesters. My lower back is shot from I assume lifting torque hubs off of tomato harvesters by hand instead of using a cherry picker like I should have. I used to love tearing into something. Now I'm starting to dread tearing into things because I end up having to load up on Advil because my back is killing me or my neck is killing me. Getting old sucks.
