German parking structure
This structure pictured here is not a public parking garage, but rather a storage facility for newly manufacutured automobiles.
Its an inside view of one of the 20- story car towers at Volkswagens Autostadt facility in Wolfsburg Germany

Those things are cool. I spent a couple of years working in the Wolfsburg area and I liked going to the Autostadt. Here's a picture (not mine) from the outside at night.



I had heard that there is a parking garage in Tokyo that is of a similar design. I think that is a great plan for congested areas.

I also got a tour of Volkswagen's Ehra test facility by the chief engineer as I was doing some work for them. Ehra is where they set the top speed record of 407 km/h (253 mph) in the Bugatti Veyron.

I started using Snopes when I got all those emails that supposedly came from top brass military personal and stuff like that.

What's funny is how some of those emails get changed to include the phrase, "this was checked on Snopes and found to be true." And when you double check that particular topic on Snopes, it turns out to be false. It's like the people who write those are counting on others to take their word for it and not do any research on their own.

And I'm not lumping you into that category. Just stating why I started to use it so much.

In all actuality, I expected to find the ones you posted to be true.

We might have trouble with our big 'ole SUV's in something like that.
