Things you think are cool. Me? Onsite auto glass replacement. You don't need to take your car in!

I love how my laundry comes back from the laundromat in a perfectly square tower. I don't know how they get my underwear into that shape, or why.

Vermaports! I visit the next Target over just to have an excuse to send my shopping cart up/down one.

Wow, that vermaport thing is supercool!

The dry cleaners my grandmother used to go to that had a big lazy susan type thing that turned your car around for you! (scroll down for pics)

Also, the Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic site that saves your sizes across stores, only shows things that will fit and lets you put everything in one shipment. Makes shopping so, so easy.

I have never heard of a vermaport. Now I wanna use one.

I never knew vermaports had a name, but they ARE cool. A couple of Targets here in town have them.

Windshield replacement: $200. 30 minutes. Pleasant, patient personable and pretty installer guy.

Love.

I could watch that vermaport clip for a long time. They should put a little desk off to the side for people to do so, like a little mini-cafe or something so you can enjoy the Vermaport at your leisure without disturbing other shoppers.

that is the world in which I want to live, yes.

I have never seen a Vermaport. It's cute how the cart powers through the gate at the end of the descent.

The Vermaports are lined with these crazy black rubber teeth, like Tyrannosaurus sized. Every time I use one, I end up leaning over the hand rail of the escalator staring at how the teeth grab onto the bottom of the carts.

I want to ride in the basket of a cart through one. Is that bad?
