Glenn-  Sounds like you can't bear to leave even the Milano out in the
sun, eh?  I have a 4-post M.I. Steel lift in my garage.  Cost was about
$3000 + shipping.  It allows me to put two cars in a one-car garage that
is just under 9 feet high.  Yes, it is a snug fit.  I hope it is very
safe, or I will have a very flat 164 <g>.  Seriously, I think they all
have safety stops as a backup to the 3/8" aircraft-grade cable.  Some are
engaged automatically, which is what I would look for if I was doing this
again.

Stop by some time and you can get a demonstration.
