Somewhere in this tower are peoples cars! It is about 10 stories high and wide enough for one maybe two cars (note the car coming out for a scale reference). To park you car, simply drive your car up to the door, get out and then a nice worker comes, punches in some numbers into a panel and the door opens and he takes you car in there and it dissapears. I literally sat by this (it is on my way to work) and watched a lot of cars go in, i dont know where they go, but they can handle a lot of them. I thought they would also go below, but the train line runs directly underneath it. So i think they shrink them and stack them in the tower...only to add water later and expand them when the owner of the car wants his/her car back.
