    --- Air time!

    Snapped a couple quick pics today at my buddy's house. I just washed the car yesterday after the trip to WA and have always wanted to take pics on this thing so here they are!

    My car sucks, yada yada yada.

        It's for turning cars around since the house has a super long driveway. When at ground level a merry-go-round motor spins it as needed. It's also very fun to ride after drinking. :)

          well where's the fun if you don't have to make an 8-point turn to get out of your driveway? Lazy sumbitch :) Cool pics for sure though.

            Plus it's funny to put your buddies cars up there after they have been drinking.

              Wouldn't it be easier (and more fun) to just do a quick 180 donut? :o

                  ok, so, that thing is all kinds of fucking sweet.

                  Also looks like there's enough room underneath it to make it useful for other reasons. For instance, as a pen to keep your hookers when they're insolent.

                          Those are called turntables, commonly used in the old days to turn steam engines around in the railway yards. I didn't know that they were used for residential use though. Very cool.

                            I don't understand the point of it elevating in the air. Why cant it just spin the car around on the ground???

                            Either way...cool & definitely very unique pics.
