Karl,
  I see your caveat on the lift "unless you plan to work under the
vehicle
a lot." and I humbly disagree.  While we could make a list of all the
work
you could do while the vehicle is on the ground, the lions share
of
maintenance and trouble seems to be from the knees down and wheels in
IMHO.
After a mulitude of vehicles and car issues, a lift is *first* on
my
list.

As I
start filling up my 'new' 30x40x14.5' ceiling, in central Oregon, I
can
honestly say it's the bare minimum size to work in and have
anything
resembling a real shop filled partially w/equipment. I'm putting in a
8'
high storage loft on one end, 4x24 overall, with office, full
bath,
washer/dryer below. A lift isn't a big deal unless you plan to work
under
the vehicle a lot. Good lights (I installed 6 twin-8'-tube LEDs,
12K-lumens
each fixture), radiant heat source (or floor), and tons of outlets
seem of
high importance.
