Fuel efficient parking spots

[Motorcar]

The other day I went to go do my patriotic duty and participate in the election process by early voting here in Texas. I thought I would drive the most patriotic vehicle I have, my former military M35A2 down there. To my disdain what do I see right in front of the entrance of the new public library where the polls are set up? Parking for Prius, yes next to the big blue handicap spot is a "green" spot. Well my truck is green, sort of. Shouldn't the save the planet cars actually have to park way out in the south forty and reserve the close spots for us? Gas hogs shouldn't have to drive around the far reaches looking for a spot wasting the planet's precious resources, instead let the Chevy Volt bring an extension cord and park next to that last lamp post.


I parked, I voted, I took a picture, and I know where I will be parking for the general election in November.

Thats awesome....I wanted to park mine in 4 compact spots just to be a jerk..I see massive 4x4's doing it all the time.

Better to just find a "green" car and park on top of it.

Saves space and recycles flammable liquids.

win-win

I swear I have seen this movie before.

Depends on your definition of low emitting/fuel efficient vehicles, doesn't it? What a crock!

 

[Goose2448]

I dont think any pruis or volt is multi fuel, so I would think your truck is greener!

PHD's Great Parking...

I love talking about parking!

And your truck is a war veteran as well so it should get premier parking over those plastic roller skates. i think the greenest most american cars are the new Passats. I bough one, they are made in Chatanooga Tennesse, get over 50mpg, and still burn diesel

Haha that is awesome, that gives me some ideas with my truck.....we dont have any of those foolish spots around here though (Surprisingly!).

those last two parking pic are of people that do not want others drivers to park close to there car, I have aquired a great skill of parking as close as I can next to this kind of drivers, drivers door and not scratch the paint. , most times I can squese into the space, inside the line

I must say I don't condone taking multiple close in parking spots like the camaro picture but I'm one of those who actually takes care of my vehicles and never ever parks in a normal packed in single parking spot. I always find the most distant spot in a parking lot and take two spots or at least an oversized end spot. This has great health benefits. A longer walk and no chance of exploding blood pressure from someone giving me a door ding. It also ensures the well being of others who would otherwise park too close. I have been driving my 1986 Mustang GT since I bought it new and it has zero door dings.

At least with my deuce I don't have to worry about door dings or waxing it

Funny.....my deuce doesn't have any door dings either....people seem to avoid parking near it...maybe because it tends to mark it's territory.

Hey I burn a 25% bio diesel mix. That makes me green right?

Exactly what I was thinking. Its like a PZEV (partial zero emmisions vehicle) how the &%#@ is anything partial zero? And why is a SULEV ( super ultra low emmisions vehicle) better. Partial zero isnt as good as super ultra low. Who comes up with these names? Super ultra low? Really? Dont even get me started on the negative effects the prius has on the enviroment.

Cool pics. I also park my van back a little in the parking lot.

Ask Chuck Norris. I heard that he can divide by zero.
