hard to tell if they have actually built one yet or if it's just "vapor-ware"...maybe they just like to show off their water-color painting talents

There was a set of photos of one of these things in a UK car mag. Their example had grass on the "roof", so it looked like part of the lawn when down. Parking in your front yard no longer has to look "ghetto".

Cool, but where I live the car would be under water!

Not for those areas with high water tables.

Or earthquakes.... Imagine your 914 buried underground after an earthquake.

Or maybe in California it would all slide down the hill into the ocean....

I think its cool, but it would be less costly to just get one of those car lifts that some of the memembers have. Earthquake may still be a factor, but what are you gonna do.

You would have to have a sump pump incase of wet seasons and a blower setup to purge the buildup of gas/ect. Interesting concept for those that can't build up or out.
