TURBO2GO said:Really cool. Whenever I go to a garage I pay for 2 spaces so I can park in the middle and not get dings. The attendants look at me like I have two heads when I say "I need two spaces please".
I don't like attendants taking my car either. Last time this guy insisted, I said OK and he didn't know how to use keyless-go in my MB and couldn't start the car. Finaly he got out and let me do it.
These garages solve all the problems!

Common, because Smart uses them in Frankfurt? Eh.. ok...btcog82 said:This circular style garage is COMMON in Germany, every car dealership uses them in Germany especially in downtown Frankfurt, even the smar car dealership. The lotise dealership had the same, the only one I think didn't use them was the ferrari, lambo, and maserati dealership.
I'm in Dresden ~ 10 times a year - one of those things you always mean to do (visit the VW plant) but never get around to because there's always another time!whealy said:Phaeton plant is Dresden. I beleive the large glass cylinder is a parking area. Inside and out.
