You'd have to be driving a cube truck to not fit up there. The clearance is like 7'6" or something ridiculously high like that.

 

The lowest parts of the new ramp would seem to be very low. Not super crazy low, but definitely on the lower end of what you normally see. Maybe a bit over six feet? Somebody should snap a pic of the lowest clearance bar.

 

There's a Google review that includes a long rant about the low ceilings.

Nah, just a quick run to the mall with Mike K.

Jeepers.. I was sitting in the food court enjoying a nice warm bowl of pho and you send me out in the bloody cold for this. I’m 6 feet tall. My hair touched the bar.

You could have continued to slurp while snapping the pic. You didn't need to get the pho out of there. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

Also, can you guarantee that the bar shown is indeed the lowest clearance bar?

So by my count, Mayfair has 4 height variations. 7'6" for the open air rooftop (Tolmie entrance), 6'4" for the underground (Douglas entrance), 6"0' for the new rooftop (Finlayson/rooftop entrance), and unlimited height for the Mike K approved surface lot.

 

Consistency at its finest!

Medusa-like tendrils that reach out under their own power to touch parking garage clearance bars? Before you leave the mall you might want to buy a bottle of conditioner.

^ Not entirely true, as you have to fit under the light posts in a couple places on the Mike K approved surface lot. Easy to avoid those, though!

Don't forget that nowadays Mike is a redneck who drives around in a two ton diesel flatbed with 5 or 6 cords of firewood on the back for "seasoning" purposes. 

 

That's gold, jonny  :lol:

 

But it's true, I have a truck almost as big as dasmo's.

On a serious note, I love big motors in cars. The average displacement on the Kozakowski driveway is 5.9, lol.

Why does a 6 wheeled vehicle have a 4x4 decal on the side?

I think Toys R Us drives a LOT of traffic to the mall though. Losing it would hurt.

 

I thought all the Toys R us were closed?


Life's a journey......so roll down the window and enjoy the breeze.
