2. I don't even understand what a four-car garage elevator is...?

Is it an elevator to take you to the level of the garage or a garage that allows you to move the cars up and down levels?

See, this is how far from the exceptionally rich I am. I don't even have the imagination, I guess.

3. I was trying to picture it too. I was in a house once with a 24+ car garage.

Two levels, air conditioned, with an elevator.

But for a four car garage?

WTF?

5. Just a little cottage in the neighborhood.

6. Eww! A green Lambourghini with orange interior?

Rmoney not only is wealthy and insensitive to normal people, he has no taste, none at all.

I think not.

7. Darth Elevator: Mitt Romney Says Yes To Car Elevator, No To Elevator For Disabled

by Tommy Christopher | 8:37 pm, March 27th, 2012

In the wake of the revelation that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney plans to add a car elevator to his La Jolla estate, and his campaign’s subsequent defense of said elevator, Buzzfeed has been buzz-fed some oppo research that shows Romney, as Governor, once vetoed a bill that would have, among other things, funded a $40,000 upgrade to make elevators compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

From Buzzfeed:

His appreciation of elevators in his capacity as a private citizen didn’t show up, however, when he was Governor of Massachusetts. In particular, Romney — like man Republicans — was hostile to requirements for elevators imposed by the Americans Disabilities Act (ADA). In two items flagged by a Democratic operative, Romney vetoed legislation that would have improved elevators for the disabled.

On June 26, 2006 Romney vetoed an improvement project with the price tag of $40,000 with his line item veto. The project would have allocated the money to Woburn Development Authority for improvements to an elevator to meet the standards set in the ADA.

Also on that day Romney vetoed an additional $25,000 to the Braintree, Massachusetts Council on Aging. The money was again proposed to meet improvements with the ADA.

I know what you’re thinking, but really, with all the energy they save getting those great parking spaces, can’t these people take the stairs for a change?

9. Quote from the White House on Car elevators:

“Only in Mitt Romney’s world of tax cuts for billionaires and elevators for his cars would denying health care coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions make sense."
