Local bank puts 3 Hybrid vehicle spots in...closer than the 2 handicapped

[alkemyst]

Awesome! Local bank puts in 3 hybrid vehicle spots closer than the 2 handicapped ones it has.

Around here handicapped spots are abused, it's about time someone chose to award someone for doing something rather than not doing something.

The local gimps are all in an uproar...most on the air look like they can get around fine.

So what happens if you park in the hybrid spot w/out a hybrid?

Why do hybrids get their own spots?

Probably the same thing that happens when I park in the pregnant women spots at the supermarket: nothing.

GD, it's this type of shit that makes me a self-hating liberal.

Tree-huggers should not drive, just walk or ride a bicycle to save the earth.

What is the purpose of a "hybrid spot"? Some sort of induction charger? (Joking...)

 

[Heller]

thats just stupid, next were gonna have Mazda parking only?

how are handicap spots 'abused'

 

[KeithTalent]

Some restaurants around here give free valet parking to people driving hybrid vehicles. Damn hippies.

I love energy efficiency as much as the next guy, but that's dumb. If I saw these I would park in them every time.

By people who aren't really handicapped.

At a place I used to work, there was a woman who had a placard and parked in the handicapped spot. But she would walk all over the building pushing a card and delivering mail and such. How the hell are you handicapped in that instance?

Maybe auto parts places should have "400hp parking only" too...

We have a couple of these HEV spots at our price chopper, my buddy parks his excursion in them.

I would have no qualms about parking my Tundra in a "hybrid" spot. What are they gonna do, give me a ticket on recycled hemp paper?

Fixed that for you.

One can only hope...either that or tow your vehicle. All it takes is one roaming tow truck to spot you and you're gone.

Did they actually have to do construction in order to add 3 new spots or did they just re-do the lines/signage? Would be interested in knowing how much energy they wasted in order to make 3 brand new spots in order to bring more 'energy-focused' clientele to their bank.

Park your Tahoe or Aspen hybrid in one.

What's next? Oversize spaces in the far end of the lot for large trucks, oversize spaces in a well-lit front area for women, spaces for pretentious pricks with Lotuses...
