Now, not only do we have spaces reserved for handicapped people, pregnant
females, mothers to be (when?), mothers with small children (who defines
small), security cars, delivery cars, taxis, 15 minute spaces for pickup of
purchases, short term spaces for passenger pick up, spots for employee of
the month, etc., but I saw some reserved spaces today that take the cake: "
reserved for hybrid vehicles!"

I saw those in Dartmouth Crossing last year. It's ridiculous, the spots
aren't big enough to fit a crewcab four by four pickup truck in them.

Great, make the gas burners drive around more ;-) Doesn't matter any
way, I always park at the far end. Save door dings and hunting around
for more time than it takes to walk.

A friend of mine has an F350 modified to run on used vegetable oil...
we're going to park it in one of those spots and see if anyone will say
anything!

I just park in them. They are frequently empty.

Or do what the person I saw today do out at Price Club ... just park in
the driving line. Such people never seem to get tickets, so I don't
blame them for parking wherever they feel like parking, regardless of
the rules.

But do what people do at walmart in the crossing, just park in the crosswalk
in front of the store and wait til your passengers are finished shopping.
Today i went in and came out 30 mins later and the same vehicle in the same
spot. lol

In this case, I don't feel I am breaking any rules. Just because some idiot
arbitrarily decides to reserve a spot for hybrids doesn't mean I have to
accept it; nor will I.

He'll need two spaces, because the idiots that came up with this idea
of small equals environmentally friendly vehicles are out to lunch.

You've got to admit, it is the most convenient parking spot, apart
from inside the store.

*** Nope. Just have them attach those wheel locks and then charge $25 to
remove them.

I really don't like the concept of those wheel locks. I think they
should be illegal.

That would make them cops, judge, jury and executioner. Its too much for
one person.
