I would think the car stored underground would be subject to a lot more moisture/corrosion unless they installed something to remedy that.

Now where did you find that one Ryan? Appears to be in Melbourne Victoria going by the number plates on the two cars.

Going by that it is in Sydney and not as I posted earlier in Victoria.
Looks like he has a Porsche collection.

More information is needed! It looks neat, but (as posted earlier) what about humidity below? Any safety mechanisms to keep the upper vehicle safe?

And is it only for below-ground storage, or is there another use it was designed for?

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way?

I think people with underground lairs probably have some kind of psychological problem.

Going on the location I would say it is a sloped block and the lift idea would be a good way round it.

The dentist? He doesn't wash his hands after leaving the bathroom.

Whoever built that needs to get their **** in here & tell us more about it!

I think it raises one car up so that it can watch out that window. While the other one rests below at ground level.

Um.....ok, it's different and there surely must be good a purpose but just looking at it here, the car only goes up a short distance then there appears to be a drop off at the door. Wonder what's going on here.

If he drives the top car out, I believe it will go all the way up so he can pull a second car into the bottom, lower it, then drive the second car in the top. The picture we are seeing is just the owner showing it off I think.

Thats cool. I saw the same type set up for a biker who stored his high dollar motorcycle underneath.

Are we sure it's not some sort of diabolical crusher? Hey little girl, park your 911 in here to get out of the rain...

I would like more info... I thought I was going to see an article, not a tease!

Pic scraping sites that don't reference the source piss me off.

I would think the auto put away underground would be liable to significantly more dampness/consumption unless they introduced something to cure that.

Same. Not at all cool. But this is pretty cool:

Definitely an effective way to prevent a car thief from driving off in your car....

This is really cool. For those that don't have Instagram here are some more pics I was able to pull. The lift was made by http://wohr.com.au/en

That is a remarkably beautiful garage & lift!
I have researched a number of parking lifts, even went to visit some of the factories over in China. Here in Chicago, they have put so many restrictions on using parking lifts that it just doesn't make sense to do it anymore.
A few of the sites I visited over there below!

This one was my favorite, until I saw the Aussie version!

and this one, I could see being used to condense parking in some of the larger cities here...unfortunately, bringing something like this up to the engineering and architectural standards in the USA would probably make it cost prohibitive...

Thanks for finding & posting those photos! The building itself is sure an odd design, with only two walls & a horizontally sliding door. I like the door idea, but why leave it open on the one side? Seems to me that it would collect a lot of leaves, dirt & whatever else.

Regarding the lift, I think it's a cool idea & would love to have one! Here is a LINK to a Colorado company who makes similar underground lifts.
