There seems to be an error in your calculation: Up to the 11 000 000 kgm required it is correct. However the Toyota Camry with 7.3 m provides only 11 000 kgm. So you miss a factor of 1000. You would need 1000 cars lifted the height of your home. For just one day (or a few days in more efficient home)

You're absolutely right.

I don't know why I thought to use grams instead of kilograms. I knew kg was the base unit for these conversions but just slipped for some reason.
