Mitt Romney Buys Sweet Car Elevator

Win or lose in the upcoming presidential election, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has already announced he’ll renovate his multi-million dollar home in La Jolla, California after the votes are tallied. Most of the specifics as far as interior design haven’t been publically revealed, but we now know the residence will have one unique and incredible feature: a car elevator.

Romney has long been open about his love for automobiles, and this purchase would seem to be good evidence of that. Built by American Custom Lifts at a reported cost of fifty-five thousand dollars, the lift will allow Romney to move his cars to different levels, whether to work on, admire or store. You can take a look at its awesomeness below…

According to US Weekly, Britney Spears and several other celebrities also have similar units in their homes. At fifty-five thousand dollars, the lifts aren’t nearly as pricey as I would have guessed, but then again, I’d imagine the company would need to corner the really limited market of people needing car elevators.

No word yet on how this reveal might play with people who already think Romney is out of touch with the common man, but from my angle, I don’t see any problem with someone spending the money he’s earned on whatever he sees fit.
