The Ford Barn

Many of you may recall the 1955 photo in downtown Portland, Oregon of the Pigeon Hole Parking system.

Here's a modern day version of the sky garage/lift which is fun to watch. Great place to park your Lamborghini! The video takes just over 2 minutes to watch and is pretty slick! Now we know how "the other half" lives.

After watching the video you might think, "Life is rough for some guys" but that guy driving the Lamborghini and living in the high rise condo in Singapore doesn't know the thrill of driving Texas Hill Country backroads surrounded by bluebonnets in a Model A Ford with the windows rolled down and hearing that hefty 40 horsepower 4 cylinder engine going "ta-puckita-puckita-puckita-puckita". I'll stick with Henry's Lady.

When I try to view the video I get an error page message.
But that's OK as I'm not really interested in how the other half lives. I did enjoy the Portland photo however, thanks.

If that is How the OTHER HALF lives then I must be in the lower 1%.

That makes me think about the Hot Wheels parking garage I had when I was a kid with the motorized elevator and alignment center. Those were the days!

Must be a lonely guy...no need for a 4 passenger car in his life, so no kids, no grandkids, and only one friend at a time.

Wonder why he couldn't ride up in the car if it was going to his appartment? Or why couldn't he ride down in it and just drive off?
