LIFT Concept Car takes parking up

//www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/lift-car-concept2.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.One of our present-day problems that will only get worse in the future is parking. There are only so many places to put cars in the big city. I’m not looking forward to the days when parking garages will be as high as the Empire State Building.

Maybe we can use the parking method seen in I, Robot. Remember the scene where Will Smith parks his car, and then a giant robot arm takes his car and parks his car in a futuristic rack full of cars?

There is similar option for parking in the future called the LIFT. As you can see, this three-wheeled car has a back wheel behind it that can connect to an overhead track. Now the car can be put in an out-of-the-way place.

As you can see, the car is only designed for one person, which of course brings up a separate issue entirely. I suppose one-person cars might take up less space on the road. Considering most people drive to work and don’t carpool, one-person vehicles actually make a lot of sense.

I am wondering if putting cars on railings is a feasible option to getting more parking space. If all these cars are in a row, how do you get one car out that is in the middle?

Well, we shall see. I’m not certain when this will be available. As you can see, these pictures look a little CG.


Facebook – Mobwars craze

Join the Mafia, and start your own mob. Band together with your friends to become the most powerful force in the elite criminal underworld of Facebook.

I have been playing this mob war application at Facebook for several weeks now and it has been addictive. It seems very hard to buy all the expensive weapons and cars but I found a few tricks which would boost your way through.

The good thing about this game is that you are not selling your friends or challenging them, but just for the pleasure of being a mob and robbing from others. You can’t attack your friends who are in the same mob as you.

One of the method is to make sure you are getting the most out of the properties you buy, click on “The City” to buy land and property. Cubicle Denizen have a good excel sheet to show you how you could buy those city with the fastest return.

The City
My own method is to find other to fight, yes fighting is the fastest way to gain money because stamina regen very fast and 3 is actually enough. You may want to add a little more but on lvl 19, I am still using stamina of 3.

Fighting
Try hitting those who are having casino as their property, this is because you know they have money. If you find the right one save the link and attack them as much as possible. hehe :) . Aim for those who have a lot of lost, this is most probably their clone account on facebook, which is why they do not have the intention of defending their boss. $70,000 each attack is a very good sum, you heal and attack until the person goes to hospital. Make sure that you have some good weapon and armour, if you see my weapons, you could see that it is not very good weapons but enough to win.
