Storage for winter

I did a little research, and purchased these cool hydraulic rollers that jack up each wheel and allow the car to be moved easily. Then, I did some measuring and figured out a way to stuff 4 cars into a 3 car garage! Put stabil in the fuel tanks and they're ready to hibernate!

Very nice. If only I could store my SL for the winter. Both sides of the garage are filled with my mom's crap. :sigh: Guess I have to wait for spring now.

Hah! Not mine either! It's my mom's garage. She only has the one car, and lets me use it! My home garage is only a 2 car, and of course the wife's car sleeps there. I don't really like a cement floor, too slick when wet. I've got carpet and rubber mats for flooring.

OK, this may be just a sign that I've acclimated to California, but the first time I saw this I thought Damn, in an earthquake that car would be rolling all over the place.

LOL!! That would be a site to see! After moving the vehicle, you can then lower it down by releasing the valve..
