Cars: How Many Are Too Many?

by Rebecca Cuningham

Walking with my good friend recently, we saw this garage and did a double take! This was not your average two car garage. Just how many cars did they own?

Autos: ¿Cuántos son excesivos?

Caminando con mi amiga cercana recientemente, vimos este garage y no lo creíamos. Este no es cualquier garaje para dos autos, De verdad, ¿cuántos autos tienen estas personas precisamente?

I’ve never seen a two tier garage outside a spy movie; certainly they’re not common in Wisconsin cities and suburbs. My next question is how does it work exactly? I want to drive the upper right hand car (guessing it’s a convertible) once the snow melts and the roads are clean one Saturday morning. What is the process?

08:00 am Move SUV to street parking
08:05 am Uncover lower right Porsche
08:10 am Check all pockets for keys
08:25 am Tear house apart. Discover keys in lower pants pocket 15 minutes later
08:40 am Drive Porsche round Robin Hood’s barn to work out the engine
08:45 am Nod at attractive folks waving at you and your car…
09:05 am Head home and park Porsche on left side of the driveway
09:10 am Lower the hydraulic lift to access the upper right vehicle.
09:15 am Lift arm is noisy, add oil to machinery and to your own hands.
09:20 am Wash your hands with lava soap to keep cover and classic car clean.
09:35 am Uncover classic car: 1958 Corvette
09:45 am Sigh at her beauty.
10:00 am Drive off lowered platform onto driveway
10:05 am Touch up the wax with a soft cloth
10:15 am Check tire pressure
10: 20 am Find straw in exhaust pipe
10: 25 am Remove mouse nest from tailpipe
10:45 am Wash hands with lava soap
10:55 am Open the convertible top
11:00 am Hop in the car and take it for a spin around the block. Time elapsed: 3 hours.
11:05 am Call your partner to come out for a drive. Receive their praise for shaving an hour off the process from the fall. Drive until it rains or you get hungry.

Nunca antes he visto un garaje con dos niveles; no es común ni en las ciudades ni en los suburbios de Wisconsin. Mi siguiente pregunta es ¿como funciona exactamente? Si quiero manejar el auto del segundo nivel a la derecha porque ya no hay nieve y las calles están limpias. ¿Cuál sería el proceso?

08:00 am Mover camioneta a la calle
08:05 am Sacar el cubierto del Porsche a la derecha
08:10 am Buscar las llaves en todos los bolsillos
08:25 am Hacer polvo a la casa buscando las llaves perdidas. Descubrirlas en tu bolsillo de pantalones después de 15 minutos.
08:40 am Manejar el Porsche por la ruta larga para correr el motor
08:45 am Inclinar con la cabeza a las personas atractivas saludandote a ti y al auto…
09:05 am Regrasar a la casa y estaciona el Porsche en el lado izquierdo de la entrada
09:10 am Bajar acensor hidrólico para tener acceso al auto arriba a la derecha.
09:15 am Anadir aceite al brazo mecánico ruidoso y a la vez a tu manos liberalmente.
09:20 am Lavarse las manos con jabón concentrado, así mantener limpio al cubierto y auto clásico.
09:35 am Sacar el cubierto del Corvette 1958
09:45 am Dar suspiros por su belleza extrema
10:00 am Conducir de la plataforma a la entrada
10:05 am Usar un pañuelo suave para refrescar la cera y brillar la pintura
10:15 am Revisar la presión de las llantas
10: 20 am Descubrir un pedacito de paja en el escape
10: 25 am Sacar nido de ratoncitos del escape
10:45 am Lavarse las manos con jabón concentrado
10:55 am Abrir la capa convertible
11:00 am Manejar el auto por el barrio. Tiempo transcurrido: 3 horas
11:05 am Llamar a tu pareja para salir juntos en un paseo por auto. Recibir sus alabanza por gastar una hora menos de tiempo esta estación en el proceso de preparación. Manejar hasta que llueva o tengas hambre.

  8. Damn, that’s hi-tech! I’ve never seen a contraption like this, although I will say that it’s very economical, haha! But to be fair, I don’t know how economical it is to have four-plus cars (unless you’re a large family)! Very strange, but very cool!

  14. I am trying to think twice before driving — do I really need to use the car for this? If I lived in a city like New York, with lots of public transportation, I would be thrilled to give up my car.
