Is this a sign of the times?

There were 2 spots, the lot was full, but no one was parking in either low e spot.

Would that be the new PayChex building?  If it is they probably did it on their own.

When you park there a man in a tie-dyed shirt comes out of the building to pat you on the back and feed you granola cookies.

LOL! Exactly. Why should loyal Tree hugging Bullet Train riders not get the same treatment.

Please define Fuel Efficient and Low Emission.  I am sure everyone that visits will  know what the signs mean and the standards to park there.  Kind of like PC run amuck once again.  Think I'll run my 1995 Van up there and park in the spot just to see what happens.

Stop and pick me up Pacman I want to see this !! LOL
I wonder if they have someone sitting inside the front door who is qualified to make the determination about efficiency ? A government employee maybe ? HHhhmmmm......

I wonder if the GREEN parking spots are nearer to the door than the Handicapped spots??

Hahahaha I wondered the same thing Mike.  I was wondering if Handicap Spots got relegated to second place and does parking a gas guzzler in the "E SPOT" get you a hefty fine.

This car is approved to park in an e-parking space. Anyone got one? They look great for I-75 and all its construction accidents.

So if you don't die on your way to work, you WILL get a good parking spot. That's a fair tradeoff, right?

Remember back in the day when we said we wouldn't get caught dead riding in an ugly car? We always referenced the Matador, the Pacer, the Hornet and other ugly cars of the day. This, is one of those moments revisited. Does the designer of this crap actually still have a job and if so, why?

Sorry, Pacman!  That ride doesn't qualify!!!  It "emits" MORE greenhouse gasses (methane) on a net tons per mile basis than most modern SUVs.

Pacman I think you have a sewer violation in that photo. Are you connected to the city sewer system ? It looks like your septic tank is leaking. LOL
