Now that I have a garage, and now that all the junk from the move is finally being assigned to permanent slots, I can proceed with the development of the dream.  Looking for a floor jack and will likely get the Harbor Freight 3-ton in steel.  Seems to have the best combination of capacity for my anticipated needs, low profile, lift range and price but want to know if there are any suggestions for better values or caveats about this one.  
My wife still wants to know when she'll be able to park her Civic in there and I told her not to be silly.  That's not what the garage is for; the Westy, the motorcycle, and the bicycles have a plan.
Thanks!
