Put your car under the garage

Park your cars under the garage

FOR THE CAR COLLECTOR WHO LIKES TO MAINTAIN a hands-on relationship with his machines, the four-post drive-on lift has become the standard solution for storing, detailing, and servicing your automobiles at home. Besides providing easy access for routine maintenance, the four-post lift let you stack two cars in a single parking space.



Above ground lifts come n a variety of sizes and capacities, to store anything from an Abarth to a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom.

So this is a garage with elevator. What are the benefits of Phantom Park? First, you can park 2 cars. Second, you can park one single car in basement and you can forget about thief. If someone (a bad boy) opens the garage he will see just an empty garage because your car is under garage. Smart, isn't it? (I mean smart idea not smart thief, thief must be stupid to don't see the mechanical part of elevator)

Key Benefits:
# Double your space by parking two vehicles in the footprint of one parking stall
# Unobtrusive and secure - the lift and lower vehicle are completely concealed
# Aesthetically pleasing - canopy surface can be tiled to match surroundings
# Multiple units can be installed side-by-side for use in condo's, offices etc.
# Ideal for low-ceiling applications - use as 'verticle tandem parking' to save space
# Safe, easy to operate
# Made in America

That's nothing. I have 3 Lotuses under my garage right now.

Seriously, that's really cool. It'd be even better connected to a large basement workshop, so you could take any one of a dozen or so project cars out for a spin on the surface at any time. It'd also be handy for moving in heavy machinery and such.

Drawbacks:

- Car on topside forgotten about and crushed against the ceiling when raising the lower car.
- Various oil leaks and such now drip down into the basement. Of course, anyone who can afford this thing probably has immaculate leak-free cars.
- Not as useful as a conventional lift for working on the underside of the car.

Additional Plus:

+ Confound your neighbors by producing a never-ending string of cars from what seems to be a one car garage.

Sounds very neat (but very expensive). File it under buy once Bill Gates gives me all his money.
