We head to the Major Taylor Parking Garage, to ride the Millar (Schindler) HIGHdraulic Elevators, Both the good one, and Filechia's Cousin, Worcester, Massachusetts. This time, Balarick is a passenger with us.
We ride the better elevator, and point out the landmarks, although the glass could use cleaning, MAJOR cleaning. It's starting to rock a little, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Then comes Filechia's Cousin, named after the elevator known as Filechia's Bathroom, which was recently fixed. So, would Filechia's Cousin be fixed as well? They have signs up about conserving energy, by shutting down floors 5, 6, and 7, so if they don't have the money to operate all the floors, I think you know the answer about Filechia's Cousin being fixed or not. :)
In fact, this is by far, the WORST this elevator has ever ridden! Shock Cam nearly fell over a few times, and I believe Balarick's video caught one of the near tip-overs on the journey.
Did I forget to mention the Hydraulic Motor on this Death Trap was squealing like a pig? Oh, well, here. I remembered. :P
This has gone to Hell. If they can't run the full garage, I can only imagine how much worse these will get.

====================================
DEATH TRAP RATING (FC): 5/10
