On a scientific scale of one to ten - where 1=sorta' lame and 10=totally baller - this car elevator has got to be at least a nine.Maybe nine-and-a-half.
Designed by Takuya Tsuchida, this lift raises and lowers some very expensive cars from the living room of this beautiful house to the garage below.
The moving platform sits on hydraulic stilts that go up and down on command, while the floor is covered in the same pale wood flooring of the living area.
How strange it might be to simply be able to park in your living room we have no idea, but you gotta' admit: this is probably the closest that anyone's come to living out those James Bond/Iron Man fantasies.
