Great community here, used this site to research prior to driving from Philly area to Boston to test drive and purchase a couple weeks back. We have now had the ForTwo a little over a week, this thing has been a blast to drive. Office is 4 miles from the house so this is perfect little car for my commute. We initially felt it was cheaper to buy this little car than replace engine on the GLS550 due to short trips to the office. Now that we've put a few miles on it, we are enjoying driving more than we expected to. Delivered with roughly 76 miles and now has little over 200. Pending quotes for install of a chargepoint home flex charger, yes it's overkill for the ForTwo however I want to make sure we are future proofed as much as possible.
Including a few images of what we are referring to as the 'clown car'. Puts a smile on the face every time I get in it and go for a drive. Trying to now determine what to use for a personalized plate.

Trip to Walmart with the 4C (was concerned on the range piece of things so took backup). Humorous how much smaller the ForTwo is than 4C, the 4C is a rather small car.
With winter coming, had to try fitting all four cars into a two car garage. I was able to fit all four in addition to keeping the lawn mower and pressure washer in there.
And now the question. I have read the manual in regard to lifting the ForTwo however I am still unclear on process. The other 2 mercedes have little 'pockets' for where to lift and the 4C has a carbon fiber tub with little carbon fiber 'patches' where you are supposed to lift. With the ForTwo, I looked at the underside and it's just not clear how I'm supposed to use quickjack with it. Am I supposed to use a block with channel in it to fit the rubber on either side of the 'rail' or am I supposed to use a solid rubber block under the 'rail' which seems completely wrong. I'm wanting to pull the wheels so that I can clay and ceramic coat wheels (one of my hobbies is detailing the cars).
Great forum and looking forward to future participation!
