Britney Spears, Mitt Romney Own Matching $55,000 Car Elevators



Brit and Mitt have something in common!

Pop superstar Britney Spears and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney both installed state-of-the art $55,000 Phantom Park car elevators in their homes, Us Weekly can confirm.

The recently engaged singer, 30, had the lift in her old Calabasas, Calif. rental. And the politician, 65, ordered one for the $12 million La Jolla, Calif., pad he plans to renovate after the election in November.

American Custom Lifts describes the elevator on their website as a "dream for auto aficionados who like to maintain a hands-on relationship with their machines."

I remember stories about her house having dog shit all over the place. The elevator is probable to keep it off the tires of her car

When I put it in my garage, tho, I'll be raising my wife's 2003 Dodge Neon up through the floor of my daughter's bedroom.

I'm sure she won't mind.

Never know which of my cars I'm going to want to drive on any given day, and I don't want to have to take even one of them out to get to the one I want.
