post a *PIC* of your latest purchase (can be anything as long as you purchased it)

Keep in mind that you need a minimum of 4 inches of good concrete to bolt to.
Unless you buy one of the portable 4 post lifts.
Slappy, your garage looks VERY organized, but that beam and celling height will be a problem.

Also, I believe all modern concrete slabs are post tension or something like that. So no drilling into them.
 
On grade is hit/ miss. Some are still use rebar that are on-grade. Anything with air gap below it is likely gonna be post tension.
 
I've installed rotary lifts in multiple locations. Just get a hammer drill and start drilling... the weight of the car is gonna hold it down anyway! :thumbup :laughing
 
I had them pour a 6 inch section of slab under the workshop overhang specifically for this thing. got a 16ft roof height so easy peasy. Which reminds me I have to run some outdoor combo 220v/120v outlets under the overhang good thing I got practice with it in the shop.
 
Thanks to @ThumperX I have a dinosaur problem. These arrived yesterday so today I chose violence. Conveniently they are close enough to my college colors to wear during football season

That beam is 99 inches from the floor. So MAYBE a lift would be usable. The Miata would have to up top and a very short (height wise) underneath. So....two Miata's?!?! LOL
