While she is cute....  :P :P :P

.........the parking technology is absolutely ingenious!  8) 8)

I love ideas that use technology to address challenges. Now I would imagine that some of you have not grown up or lived in a big city, but for so many places in the world, this is a fantastic way to handle a large number of cars in a parking lot.

 If you've ever had the "opportunity" of handing your car keys to a parking attendant that looks strung out and wild eyed, you know what I mean! LOL

What happens if your car is bigger than the parking spots?  What if you pull in there with a '69 Charger Daytona, will they just say "Sorry sir, but this thing is just to big."?  Aside from having a great that's-what-she-said moment, I'd be kinda pissed.  Vertical clearance seems low, too, does nobody over there own a truck?

Aside from that, this is kickass!

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Strange. I live in Russia mostly and women from eastern Europe and Russia are much prettier then the rest of the world. Also more women then men here.  :D

Things like that are common place in Japan some fully automated, just about every Hotel I stayed in had a 'ferris wheel' style car park that was as high as the hotel.

I was thinking the same thing as Jetz. I know few people own trucks, but I had a friend from Europe and he said small SUV's are fairly popular. One of those even would get crushed with that low ceiling height, LOL.

It's very ingenious, but doesn't seem like a solution for everybody, just those with small to mid sized cars only.

And yes, the girl was very attractive.

For eastern European and Russian standards the girl from the video is just a normal girl. Nothing special.

You can say that again :).

But what is the advantage of such a parking system compared to a regular underground parking lot? No doubt it is much MUCH more expensive to make, and you have to wait for your car for up to 4 minutes to arrive. Does it save really space? Maybe the cars are packed together a bit tighter but I don't believe it could make a big difference, and the space required for all the machinery and computers probably occupies quite a bit as well. What do you guys think ?
