And is that some kind of S&M swing? wth?

There is what looks like a cylinder on each side of the car with two swing arms on it that are positioned on the lift points of the car. The cylinders come out of the floor.

That handle connects to the exhaust extractor that moves down a track. You can see one on the other side down by the end. There are two per side and I think there are 16 stalls.

Indeed.

Valet parking, large shrimp, salmon, roast beef, mashed potato bar, and all you could drink (imported beer).

They had a 918 there sitting on the futuristic looking Hunter alignment rack.

That makes a lot of sense. But I still say they use it recreationally on leather pants day.

The showroom was pretty nice also. There were a ton of people there but not many Porsche club members.

So if you buy a new Porsche you are paying for what goes with this mandated overhead and diesel gate?

That is not why I bought my 88

Porcelain tile -what purpose does that serve? Slippery and drop something hard it could chip / crack.

Also, are the tool chest on casters -ability to move around?

They say Snap-On and every position has this setup

Whats with the tacky cords taped down on the floor? All that fancy stuff thought out shop and they couldn't come up with a better solution?

Those are temporary for the disco lights and speakers

I don't think those roll around because the lift control is built into one of the short ones. (right under the wine glass)

I don't know much about tile and am probably all wrong but I think porcelain has the color all the way through. It was fairly rough surface

I thought this was a bit over the top until you got to the mashed potato bar. That and the free beer would be worth buying a new Porsche for - wait - are the beer and mashed potatoes for the customer or the tech?
