My 2 main concerns, my epoxy is over a dozen years old and while it is starting to show it's age it has more then paid for itself

Also I use the quickjacks and was concerned how tiles would work with them

That should be okay even with less capable tiles, your quickjacks most likely spread the load out over a much larger surface than jack stands. Even the "standard" tiles I used exhibit no problems at all with large SUVs, no creaking, no deformation or cracking, so I think you'd be okay. Even if they did crack, by the way, you can easily replace them individually with stronger, identically colored counterparts. Alternatively, you can incorporate a "desired tire track" with stronger tiles of a different color into your design. Lots of possibilities to make adjustments even after installation.

Even with the cover on, the lines on the car are accentuated. She’s a beauty.

Thank you. Here’s the other end.

Best seat in the house is say!

It’s not as nice as some of your garages here, but the plan is to change that all over the next 3 years as the finances will allow.

I don’t hang out in the Garage but usually when I have to get something I will frequently tap the door handle and say I can’t wait until spring/summer to take her out and rip up the roads.

So I can move it when I’m working on the tractor in the back ground. The wife was gracious to let me use her side while I have the tractor taking up the other side.

Had to start it today, weather not too bad, put some Maguires’s rich leather on the seats. She sounds sooo good. 😂
