For lack of overhead clearance, I think the coolest solution is going european/old school.

Pits are old school, but they're illegal in Minnesota. The body shop I used to work at had one. There was just no way they'd let us use it. You may be able to have one in a residential area though. My guess is you can't put in a new pit, but an existing one would be grandfathered in

Him and my brother, and I dug a pit,16 feet long and 5 feet deep and then he poured a 3" concrete wall. covers it with planks of wood when it's not in use. Works like a charm.



He even put up mirrors on the wall and painted the outside yellow so you can see exacty where your wheels are when you're driving up over it:

LOL!

I would love to have a pit. I cant even use ramps because my cars are too low. Oil changes are a pain in the ass every time.

You guys have me seriously considering cutting out the floor in my garage.  I think it would turn into a pond however.
