No room? No problem.

If you don't quite have room for this monstrosity of a garage,

Or even a more modest one-stall version, no worries.

This Chinese company has you and your car covered. Literally.

This crazy invention was developed by Shanghai Chaoye Energy & Technology Co.. And despite the rough translation work done on the description, this expandable garage is definitely useful for everyone.

They also offer a solar-powered version for an even more environmentally friendly crowd.

The garages are made of carbon fiber with a specially treated fabric in the expandable portion to best protect your car.

So, how does it work?

1. Back it up

2. Shut it down

The automated garage cocoon hardly takes up more space than the car itself (the driver took care to fold in his rear-view mirrors) yet still provides the protection of a full garage.

It's that simple! 100 points to the Chinese company for this fabulous invention

No word on when this could be seen internationally, or how much it could cost, but I can't wait to see these car caterpillars creeping up everywhere.
