Wish I would have kept mine...

Why? What happened?

I got out of that business, sold it to a guy in Cincinnati, OH. I heard today that he has all but wrecked it...:(

what was it

That's a hidden wheel lift for repos. It folds up completely under the truck and you would not know it was there until there was a car on it. Cameras and strobes were also concealed, hence the "sneaker" monicor. Everything was operated from the cab so you would not have to get out unless the car was parked the wrong way.

Good times.

Did it pay good?

You miss all the fun huh?

It did at one time. In '98 and '99 I was doing about $2000.00 a week, but I had to pay out for a tow-agent if I couldn't get keys cut or talk the owner's out of the keys. With my truck it was a non issue on the keys, but expenses were a bitch. Brakes, hydraulic hoses, pumps, switch panles, etc. It all addes up and I made a little more when gas was more reasonable. The truck was an F-350 V10, so it wasn't real nice on the fuel costs...:(

More than anything, I got back into it middle of last year to have some fun. I bought the truck in september or october, don't remember off the top of my head. It was fun just to have the truck let alone snake cars with it...lol

Sometimes. I really don't have the time to be in that biz now though...:(

It's gone.....nothing you can do about except if you're gonna buy something like that again.

I know. I am seriously considering it too...:1orglaugh

Nothing else out there right now that really makes me feel as safe and comfy as that thing did.

Oh well, just found some pics of it and it brought back some memories.

How much you get for that ? 1.000.000$ ? :winkwink:

Dont be disappointed. Your car is still there :thumbsup

You mean how much did I get per car, or how much did I sell the truck for?

how much did you get per the car? :2 cents:

Heh that thing is realy too big
