Just like the title says! where do you guys get cut up and bruised, and how many of you have access to a lift?

I, unfortunately have to use my slanted driveway for all my stuff, and that makes me a bit nervous. back when I had my turbo teg a couple years back, I had my two car garage, but it has since been filled with my parents stuff.

let's hear it!oh, and pictures would be cool, also.

I have access to lifts, paint booths, air tools, alignment machines, wheel balancing and professional advice. Every military base has auto hobbys shops that we can rent out a bay with lift and all acess for $2.50 an hour. I love it.

I do all my installs, painting, etc in my garage at home, or in my father's workshop.

Nick, i've gotta say, that undercarriage is pretty clean ;)


I slave away at my car in the garage. I've got a jack, 2 sets of jack stands, and 2 sets of ramps that I can use to get under the car.

Nick06tC

It had 10 miles on it that day. But I steam clean under there as often as possible. So it is still pretty close to that clean.

well most of the time we use whoevers driveway can have us.
but if the group is small enough (like one ) we can use toyota's facilities if we need it.

I have zero access to a lift. My accessories get installed either in my covered parking space at the apartment, or in my parent's driveway when their neighbors aren't home to complain to the association.

Wish I had shop space, but it's just part of Rental Living.

Haha, I envy you guys who have flat driveways (or close to it). Reese, is that a covered section on your driveway? that's sick, haha i'm jealous.

Being Military is awesome sometimes.... God I love the auto hobby shop. Yay for Uncle Sam!!!

Nick06tC

yeah it is nice to have the access whenever needed. I also have all the tools including air tools, welding equipment, torches, jacks, and all at work any time of the day or night. Just no lift there.

my driveway

yea but a slanted driveway makes washing your car easier :D (water drains away)

roflitzjinno

my garage.

Haha, that's true but thats a tradeoff id be willing to deal with to have a straight driveway.

gjpjr84

yea my driveway is wickedly slanted, which is good for the water drainage. not to say that i have not used it i did part of my intake my grills and unistalled my underbodylights in my driveway. thats about it.

but yea usually since i am new to doing all this type of thing so its usually somewhere else that I install stuff. so i can get some help.

we also have an airplane hanger that we have made use of, nice big covered, flat area.

Nick06tC

I also have a huge hanger as well with 24 hour access. Air tools, pressure washers, tools, welders

gjpjr84

yea i have a picture somewhere of my car parked under the wing of a small prop that looks pretty cool. not sure where t went though
