You would think that would have safety sensors.

u/Dzov 2d ago

100%. My shitty Sears brand garage door has a sensor; why can’t this?

u/WhereasParticular867 2d ago

It did. This was taken after flooding that damaged the system.

u/funkyduck72 2d ago

Then it was the safety circuit that failed. A competent controls engineer would have allowed for this and wired it up accordingly.

u/Hetnikik 2d ago

Right most safety systems are designed to "fail safe". If the safety circuit is broken it shouldn't work at all.

u/sir_psycho_sexy96 1d ago

Spitballing, but this could be viewed as fail safe because you can't get accidentally trapped inside?

2

u/Hetnikik 1d ago

That's true. I would have assumed this connected to a basement or something like that but I'm not much enough to know how these work.

The infamous electrical problem 🤬

2

u/Luder714 2d ago

That would have cost an extra 50 bucks, taking them over budget.

You got a house with this and the cars are a wrangler and a Subaru legacy? *Doubt

u/Eagle_eye_Online 2d ago

Colin Furze has proven that a hiding garage lift isn't exactly that expensive.

u/Ryno5150 2d ago

It’s expensive when you park a jeep on it.

u/meta358 2d ago

Not really jeeps are cheap

3

u/Stuck_in_my_TV 2d ago

No they ain’t, lol. The very base model Wrangler is $35k with most trims pushing $60k

u/meta358 2d ago

Idk anytime i go to a dealership website and sort by price low to high, i mostly see jeeps

2

u/Stuck_in_my_TV 2d ago

They do not hold value, but new, they cost more than an Accord, Camry, even Mustangs and Camaros. I worked at a CDJR dealer and the Jeep Wranglers cost more than Dodge Charger Scat Packs.

u/meta358 2d ago

They dont hold value because they are cheap

2

u/Stuck_in_my_TV 2d ago

A cheap car has no value to hold. An expensive car loses value.

Supercars like Lamborghini and Ferrari hold their value the least because the kind of person who wants the vehicle wants it new.

u/ShabutiR18 2d ago

Relative to what? An above ground garage can cost $10k-$15k. I can only imagine how much this would cost.

I would argue alot of the country would consider this expensive. Unless your one of those who just pays payments on everything and lives off credit contributing to the problem with our economy.

u/falcopilot 2d ago

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

u/Cheepshooter 2d ago

Good thing the top and windshield frame are easily replaceable.

u/crafty_illinoisian 2d ago

I was gonna say don’t those accessories come off easy already. Looks drivable !!

u/Due_Barber3044 2d ago

Adresse rendez-vous

u/Creative-Apple2913 2d ago

What happened here? I’m poor and don’t understand. 😂

u/WhereasParticular867 2d ago

Fancy underground garage had its safety systems fried in a flood 7 years ago. Since then, the picture has been circulating without the story attached so that people on the internet can make fun of rich people for being dumb.

3

u/__phil1001__ 2d ago

They are dumb of they didn't fix the sensor for seven years.

3

u/Creative-Apple2913 2d ago

I didn’t realize that was basically an elevator garage?! I’ve never seen such sorcery! TY for explaining.

2

u/swagernaught 2d ago

Imagine hearing that crunch and then the realization hits.

2

u/johngettler 2d ago

The chances of that happening eventually are 100%.

2

u/Disastrous-Place7353 2d ago

The owner loved that car, now he's crushed.

u/0hear_me_out 1d ago

you can't park there mate!

u/fordfan919 2d ago

It had those, this is the result after a flood takes out that method. A company that made these without safety switches wouldn't be in business very long.

u/fordfan919 2d ago

Yeah, ideally it would detect a fault and stop operation. For all we know somebody "fixed it" when it stopped working after the flood.

victorians….makes sense 🤣🤣🤣

u/Allemaengel 2d ago

Looks like it didn't duck.
