Car storage lifts?

Long story short I am going to need someplace to store my RX-7. I am loosing my space I keep it in.

I am looking into a lift for my garage at home and found this:

I am unsure if I have the vertical clearance in my garage for this to work.

Does anyone have this rig or know someone with it or something similar. I might be able to put the lift all the way foward in the garage so I only have to go high enough for the nose of the Porsche to clear.

This blows.

I've been thinking about the same thing.

Here are some other companies that I found that look decent:

The last one really isn't what you are looking for, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Problem solved, sort of. I just reserved a 10x15 storage bay up the street from my house. It will run me $125 a month. I did the measuring and it looks like I can fit some of my rims/tires in there as well.

I would still like to figure out if the life will work out. It would be cool to have that in my garage.

Several people on 356talk have lifts to keep extra cars on. Ceiling clearance is a big one, as is weight capacity.
