Absolutely a brilliant idea to integrate so many of our
memes under one comfortable, secure, all-embracing roof
like this. Doing so would generate a lot of creative
pressures (and therefore great economic growth) in the
housing industry -- our notion of "garage" would morph
accordingly to incorporate all household, entertainment,
workspace and gustatory features to become another
place in the house we use for so many reasons rather
than just roling in and leaving ol' Betsy (that's the car,
guys) in our traditional darkened temporary storage place.
This'd work with the condo, hotel, motel and even the
airport parking construction industry, too. Good on ya',
Jack. Glad to see you out of the box. |

what ferdy said (I think) but its still in the wrong category. |

Nothing like a newb lauding praise on another newb |

I'm thinking that this Auto Mall would be more appropriate for northern climates. I hate washing my car in the winter and then trying to get it to dry. |

I do like this and I think that I would be a customer. + |

I was expecting this to be a mall where you never had to get out of your car, essentially a collection of drive through shops. May not work for some categories of shopping such as clothes. |

PHD, if you never get out of your car why would you need well-fitting clothes? Just any old duds will do. |

jack, is this near the mark? I see this as a big warehouse-type operation where you drive up and get out of your vehicle. You toss your keys to a valet who gives you a claim-check for your vehicle. When you enter the building you go to the reception desk where you tell them exactly what you want done to your ride and you get tokens or tickets for your activities, like the drive-in movie, for example. You don't actually drive in and out of the lot, you simply walk across the (indorr) parking lot to a car (it's a mock-up) such as that 1957 T-Bird convertible over there. You get in and watch the feature from behind the wheel of the classic car. Beside you there's a family enjoying the show from an old wood-panelled station wagon, behind you there's a couple making out in a Nash Rambler. (For cases where minor bodywork or painting was required, you would be able to stay for the double feature). When the show is over you exit to a shopping area where you can pick out new floor mats for your vehicle, a set of seat covers, or simply decide between the pine-scented air freshener that looks like a little tree or the cartoon character that smells like vanilla. Next, when you feel hungry, there's the retro-diner. Again, you have the option of dining while seated in a mock classic car or you can eat inside the restaurant. There would be pinball and arcade games to pass the time while you are having your pride and joy spit-shined and fully detailed, and even driving simulators to evaluate your skills. When you hear your claim-check number called out over the PA you make your way to the exit and settle up your bill. Outside, your fresh-as-a-daisy, like-new vehicle awaits in all its shiny glory, with the new floor mats, seat covers, or air freshener already installed. |
