I can't not recall any repair manual I've used making caution statements in the general information section regarding the length of time one can or should leave a car off its suspension.
Regarding 2-post and 4-post lifts, you stated that putting a car on a 4-post lift is easier and faster, and I simply disagree. My asymmetrical Rotary lift comes with a floor plate used to locate the car relative to the lift. I can have any of my automobiles lifted to full height in about a minute and a half for simple maintenance items, like an oil change.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
