Danny those ramps look like a really good idea.  I might steel that from you to leave my quickjack parked under my car and more easily accessible. Storage becomes an issue with jacks at times.

No problem. I used the 1/2" ply from the crate the jack came in, and shaved some 2 x 3(actually 1.5 x 2.5) lumber to make the ramps 2" high, same as my scales. Now I have a take-apart ramp system for the lift and a "weigh-bridge" for the scales, drive-on and drive-off. The center pieces fold in half with hinges, and are very light. 3 longitudinal "beams" and 1/2" ply is pretty light.

Carlos, 2 little cars fit no problem, but I mostly park the Spyder in the enclosed trailer. But I used to fit the Spyder in there with the Allroad in the winter, along with the requisite snowblower......

Gordon/Stan: I have an 8000 btu A/C permanently mounted where there used to be a window. I have two 5000 watt electric heaters diagonally opposite. The meter REALLY spins but I use heat sparingly in the winter.
