My buddy told me of a place like this in France where you could watch your car come down from above.
just like a can of pop.

I wonder how many quarters you need to put in to get that smart car out of that vending machine.

You know, it'd be awesome if when you buy one and all your papers are complete, you get a special 'token' which unlocks and delivers a smart car like a Pez candy...like the coin actually triggers it. Would be a fun gimmick.

I took this pic in Esslingen, Germany in 2004. Vertical real estate is highly capitalized over there and you see many dealerships with this layout.

Milwaukee has one of the towers. They would be happy to vend one out for you.

Still don't know how they managed to get around Sign ordanances that have killed other tower plans in the stated. Something about showroom floor, but I think its because so many HD dealers have towers they couldn't change the rules now
