Well, okay this time. But watch yourself from here on.

That's an oddity. In my youth I helped install at least a dozen of those lifts in new service stations and car dealerships (yes, the 12' holes were dug by hand). That H-frame has a relief in the center that the ram slides into. I never thought to think that they could/would be installed upside down. That would put a lot of stress on the bolts.

I think it's possible they are installed that way due to a sloping floor. Maybe.

Looks like the car owner is enjoying even tire wear though.....
