Dan - My dad is a manly sort of man who likes to be lifted. He went halfsies on it with a guy from work so they could both do manly things, like replace windows and gutters and stuff.

John - If I tell my dad you are also a manly man I'm sure he will allow you to rent it for cheap. Or for expensive. I'm not really sure what he would charge. However, he lives an hour and a half away from you. So I guess if you want to go that far just for a man lift you probably can.

Everyone (besides my 3 regular commenters) - I am disappointed that the man lift is getting more interest than my new car. No, you can't all make nice comments about the car now because I will know you are only doing it to make me feel better. You have missed your chance.
