Actually I think what these people are doing is pretty funny.

We have two new city buildings who wanted to quality for the “Green Award” so they placed Hybrid Vehicle Parking Only signs at all spaces on the front two rows. Everybody ignored them, but this is Texas. City planners should have known better. After all the press, calls and letters they have received bet they won’t do that again.

LOL. Some buildings at my previous company had a 2 level parking lot, lower (covered) area for compact vehicles, others on top, exposed to the elements. Our attitude was if you want a shady place to park in the summer get there earlier. No one paid attention to it.

Remember the opening in “Cool Hand Luke”where the Paul Newman character used a pipe cutter to de-head the parking meters? That’s what I’d like to do to these electric car charger spots. Prisons have cable TV, nutritious meals, no work requirement and free lawyers to help you, so going to the pen for this may not have the outcome Newman had.

I used to have a Hybrid 1950 Ford Pickup. It used both Gas and Oil.

I figure it burned a quart of Oil with every Tank of Gas.

I was ahead of my time 40 odd years ago.
