[Diy_efi] Offtopic: Shops with Docks ?

[Mike A.]

Apologize for the off-topic question, but this may be the right place to ask
since some of us are shopowners here. There is a nice building available for
my shop, but instead of drive-ins this place has docks that are 4-5 ft off
the ground. There isn't enough space available for a really long ramp. We
deal with lowered sport cars - is there a possibility of figuring a way to
put cars inside comfortably or is this a no-go. Has anyone had a similar
experience? Once again, apologies for the off-topic question.
