Suspended Car Parking Lots - The LIFT 1,031 Views - Click for Gallery

Space is getting tighter in urban areas, and one of the most obvious places this is being witnessed is in parking lots, or the lack of them. The LIFT hopes to solve this problem with the creation of a suspended parking lot and compatible cars which hang instead of take up ground space.

“This stylish LIFT car concept can adjust itself in the aerial parking without demanding any extra space,” Tuvie explains. “Once you are done with your work, you can just drop it down and simply drive home.”

I can’t wait for the day when I get measured for my gadget LIFT car and then park it like a cheap suit on a wire hanger.

I know the idea of parking structures in urban/suburban areas is abhorrent to a lot of environmentalists, but how can this concept ever be taken seriously? One person in one car that has to be hung up to park? Hello? Ever hear of walking?
