    Gotta admit that is badass. Look at that underground garage on the right site of the photo with the bridge going to the entrance.

    I once wanted to buy a house about an hour outside of Chicago that had a 10 1/2 car garage. It had an inner high-bay garage inside of the main garage that had a hydraulic maintenance lift and a couple of antique gas pumps and about 2000 sq. ft of finished shop space with all kinds of benches and built-in compressed air etc. It was a dream garage for a car person. The house wasn't bad either. :D

    My agent was a gorgeous polish blonde from the city and she had a complete conniption-fit and basically would not let me buy it and I ended up in a much more conventional home in Elmhurst which was probably far more resale-able to her credit.

    Oh yeah? Name three entitlements you don't think us taxpayers should be paying for and maybe while you're at it. You can explain supporting a presidential candidate that believes in massive entitlements.

  7. Calls to boycott Applebee's after CEO threatens hiring freeze and layoffs over Obamacare

    Move over Chick-fil-A, fast food is getting political again.
    Papa John's came under fire this week when CEO John Schnatter floated a plan to cut worker hours to reduce spiking employee health care costs under the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.

    Now, Applebee's is being boycotted after a major New York area Applebee's franchise owner Zane Tankel threatened a hiring freeze and possible layoffs as a result of the president's healthcare plan.

    The Twitter uproar is in response to a Fox News interview Thursday with Zane Tankel, chairman and CEO of Apple-Metro, which owns 40 New York-area Applebee's restaurants.
    "We've calculated it will [cost] some millions of dollars across our system. So what does that say -- that says we won't build more restaurants. We won't hire more people," Tankel said.
