Even with a 12 ft clearance, I have to watch out for lifting my M-B with the hood vertical. Thankfully, the roof trusses are on 4 ft centers, and the hood can "fit" between the trusses a bit when fully raised. Of course, one could lower the hood, but that would take forethought and patience...

Yeah, I built my downstairs garage with 10' ceilings, thinking that
I could put a lift in someday.  (And it's a good thing I didn't spec.
more height, as they were starting to hit some pretty solid rock
by then.)  Well, there's one or two that might fit in there, but I
