How tall is your ceiling? No truss work? I'd love to have one............. It takes lots of thought to get my C4 up on ramps and I still have to roll my fat a$$ around on the floor.

I built my garage 8 years ago with a 13' high ceiling for a lift.....just now got the money to get one... but my house garage has a 12' ceiling, so I could put one it there......but the garage door would be an issue...

I didn't buy anything today but my parts ordered from powersportsmax.com I got a new 110cc engine, 2 carburetors, 3 vent hoses, and an air filter. Very excited to get these installed this weekend!

I've had nothing but really bad luck with Samsung products over the years so I'm really leery of spending a ton of money on a brand that hasn't given me a good track record. It's nice to hear good things about LG. I may try one of those next time.
Ironically enough i just recently made the transition to the Iphone SE last year at the same time as my wife moved from her Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo. Then when i upgraded my main work phone i got a second SE though this one is the 32 gb version. Now that we had issues with over charges from the provider that we got the first ones from we needed to get new personal phones. She upgraded to another SE but a 32 gb vs the 16 gbs we got last year and as said i got my LG at that point.

The last blackberry i had was the Curve 2 which was made while Blackberry was still known as RIM.

I may eventually pick up a Defender for the LG but i am not too sure on that idea just yet. Ultimately i may move the Lifeproof from my 16 gb Iphone to the 32gb unit since i have the lifeproof mounting system on the back of it for my bike handle bar mount.

I've always liked Samsungs, but since my first Galaxy, I never got more than 18 months out of them before they quit. And it was usually a heat issue that would kill them. Now, my old Samsung flip phones and all my Nokia bricks were bullet proof.

Samsung fridge and 55" idiot box have been flawless.

Bought a new 2018 Nissan Versa, cheapest new car available. $11,500 cash including license, tax, and all other fees. Was way past time to retire my 93 tin can on a skateboard Suzuki Swift.

Four 6x6 posts and 100 feet of nautical rope. We are making a fence with it for the front yard.

From yesterday....of all things an old rusty horse trailer... The plan with it is to do a bit of overhaul and convert it into an enclosed motorcycle trailer/portable storage for winter.

i go for the defender, mostly because i am not worried about waterproofing,(especially considering the s7 is ip68 certified all by itself) and also because i have broken the battery door off of every lifeproof case i have owned... LOL
