Vroom with a view: The high-rise flats with your Ferrari parked outside - 100m up! - Yahoo! Cars

Those high back chairs make it look like an old peoples' home..

Of course in Singapore you go above the speed limit (very low) they execute you or something similar.

Just what a crowded world, full of homeless people needs, flats for cars....

Plenty of room for all the junk that lives in my garage. I'd either have to get some curtains or wash the car more often.

The ground space taken up by all these flats and garages is minimal compared to the equivalent houses with garages... Surely that's an answer to crowdedness, not a problem towards it.

Lol!!!!!

Could be even more devestating if it landed on someone from several hundred feet.

Until you have a fire.......

Which would be true of any home? I don't see the risk any higher than a regular hi-rise building.

The many litres of flammable oil, hot engines, electrical shorts, gasoline, rubber

And on each floor...

Ah yes, I hadn't thought of that lol

As pointless as a blunt thing with no pointy bits on it.

Bit more secure than the standard underground car park you tend to get with hi-rise blocks.

Just like an oven door??

Just like an oven door??

Oven doors are fitted with special tempered glass that is capable of withstanding 260C. Special heat resistant glass is available that can withstand 760C.

Both of the above would not withstand the heat from a car fire that can reach well over 1000C and as much as 1400C.

So to answer your question, no, not like an oven door!

So, an all round great idea then ...
