You know you've got something awesome outside your window when you go to get a Google image and are at a loss of what to type to pull up the image you so desire for your blog...
"Matchbox Car Lift"... no.
"Multiple Car Lift"... not as epic as what's outside my window.
"Snack Machine for Cars"... weird.
"Matchbox Multiple Car Parking"... that'll do!

Any hopes of me focusing and getting a job while we're here in Manhattan are dashed. I can now be found sitting in the window looking upon our Car Shuffling neighbors. At the mere sound of "Vvv" I run to the window in hopes of seeing a high up car be lowered like a well selected Snickers bar. I still have no idea how it happens. Hydraulics? Leprechauns? It could be anything!
At any given time a total of ...5x3x4.... carry the one.... 60 cars are parked next to us in a lot that should really barely fit 10 vehicles! 4 levels high, 5 to a row, 3 giant red holders. It's unbelievable.
Since the above picture isn't as accurate as I'd hoped I tried one last attempt to pull a good picture. "Parking Stacker" BINGO!

But imagine taller... and RED!
So far I've witnessed one car descend into the land of plain old street dwelling vehicles. I have yet to see one rise up to the car gods. If I had one of the cars on it, I'd ask to ride in it to really get my money's worth. Despite watching it almost constantly, most often the car shuffling happens by pure magic.
Go to bed.... no cars. Wake up... FULL! Get something from fridge... some missing. I still have yet to figure out the best time to view, mostly relying on the sound of metal grinding. I bet if I watch long enough, one day they'll mess up and crush a car monster truck style! So that's all for now from New York I have some, um, jobs, that need to be watched, I mean applied --- Oooh! The noise!
Crap, missed it. I think the downstairs neighbors might start questioning my hourly sprints to the window.
Next question:
What if you're the top car and you need to get it before the bottom cars are gone?
How do they know??!?!
this entry made me LOL
ReplyDeleteI saw one of those things in NYC years ago and took a picture of it. City dwelling is not for me but I guess someone out there does their best to make it right for others. The car stacker is both amusing and space-conserving :o)
