If you have the vertical room, I wouldn't fool with anything but a two-post.

On anchoring: they want 6" of concrete. I only had about 3, so I cut out two squares and dug down about two feet. I filled with 6-bag concrete reinforced with rebar. It does not move. Drilling for the mounts is the hardest part. Assembly is really easy, but you'll need some help raising the posts to vertical.
I have been hearing good things about the twin busch units on the web.. I know the twin posts are ideal, and I agree I can address my concrete and bring it up to spec.

But the space is also an issue for me.. I only have barely 24" on side of the boxster to the garage wall and ~42" between the cars. Here are some pics, you can see the crack in the floor in the last one.







My thought is that the open style scissor would be a good option, just park over it.. I really like the Twin Busch one I linked, but not if I cannot get the engine out.
