Does anyone have one of these or do you know anyone who has one? It would make it much easier to work on your car...am I dreaming here?

Not really. Most of the oned like these lift by the wheels only, so any suspension, brake..etc. work is out of the question.

Right, and the car's weight is sitting on the wheels, making brake or suspension work impossible. I think most people opt for the same lift you'd find in a shop, a two post lift similar to this one:



There are a few people here who have lifts - pinecone and johnlew come to mind.

Not impossible, just more difficult - you need to have to use another jack. That defeats the purpose for a lift used primarily for working on cars, but is ok for occasional use if parking is a bigger concern. I'd kill for another parking spot, but my ceiling isn't tall enough.
