Talk about German efficiency! The two photos below were taken at a new parking garage in Munich. The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the US.

Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also "retrieved" in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant.


These photos are authentic, though mislabeled. What you actually see above is the interior of a 20-storey car tower in Volkswagen's Autostadt or "car city" in Wolfburg, Germany — basically a car dealership and theme park rolled into one.

The Autostadt, which opened in 2001 and boasts a hotel, restaurants, a museum, and other attractions, sees over 1 million visitors per year. Car buyers take delivery of their purchases via a fully automated procedure whereby the automobile is plucked robotically from a cubbyhole in one of the two "twin towers," each of which holds up to 400 vehicles, and brought to its owner on a special elevator.

Image credit notes: The top image has been previously credited in news stories to AP photographer Fabian Bimmer, who in all likelihood is also responsible for the second one.

* Mining, energy, industrials lead broad rally

* Surprise European growth helps sentiment

TORONTO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index rose
sharply on Thursday as surprisingly strong European economic
data buoyed sentiment and commodity prices, sparking a
resource-led rally.

Reports showing recessions in Germany and France ended in
the second quarter overshadowed disappointing U.S. retail sales
and weekly jobless claims data, and allowed investors to become
increasingly more comfortable with risk in their portfolios.

Copper rallied to a 10-month peak on the strong sentiment
and gold rose on concerns about inflation, boosting the TSX
index's materials sector by 2.84 percent. Energy issues gained
1.88 percent as oil also ended higher.

"It does seem as though it's the premise that the North
American and global economies are strengthening," said Elvis
Picardo, analyst and strategist at Global Securities in
Vancouver.

"It's a good rally on the back of that sentiment."

Among materials issues, Pan American Silver jumped
10.4 percent to C$22.53, and copper and gold producer Quadra
Mining rose 7 percent to C$12.51.

Among oil and gas producers, Talisman Energy
gained 3.7 percent to C$17.55, while Nexen jumped 3.6
percent to C$23.41.

Altogether, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX index
climbed 165.69 points, or 1.55 percent, to end at 10,825.56.
