Random Memorial for Monday 3/27/17

Gone but not forgotten:  thinking about any other type of garage to store multiple cars than this one at a museum up in Stuart.

A day trip to Stuart was part of the vacation planning this past February when Indiana family came to visit (it's always important to find something that Walter will want to do when he's in town ... and that usually means a different car museum each year) ... and that included the Elliott Museum.  In turn, the Elliott Museum included this garage full of antique and other classic cars -- and there was an automated multi story contraption that would go select different ones to show and feed them to the main window one at a time.

The video below I found on the youtube does a better job of showing how it all works, but just know that the static image accompanying this post is NOT a close up.  That is NOT a matchbox car collection.  Those ARE full size automobiles on display.

Admittedly, as an adult, I've rarely had more than one car at a time ... but if life is ever such that I have a bunch to store next to the house, the old fashioned boring "multi-car garage", you will not be missed.
