Finally got the C8 on the lift. Getting this thing on the lift is a pain in the ass. I have to pull way far forward and use the "put a DCT in neutral mode" process to roll it back, but I also take off the top and drop the windows, as the neutral thing only lasts a few minutes. I'd be unable to open the doors when on the lift if I didn't do this.

On a side note, after 2+ months, finally got the license plate swaps done. C8 is now officially my handle, and 2009 is BYTE WIZ. Tundra gets dog shit plates.

Yes. That was a foregone conclusion.

I understood almost none of this...

Why don't you leave it started up until you get into the config you want? I always shorted the arms; is there not even enough wheelbase clearance to swing?

Oh, and just get a new lift, you 118k+ baller

If I stop the car while it's running in the place the car needs to be, I can't open the door without hitting the uprights, thus I can't get out. Same thing in the C6Z, but with that, you just put it in neutral like any good manual transmission, and then roll it into place.
