At work, Spiffy and I were coming back from lunch in my truck. My F-150 Supercrew, 5.4L Triton V8 with 222,000 miles on it. The truck facts have NOTHING to do with the story but it is impressive nonetheless.
He asked if I had seen the new parking signs up front for "Fuel Efficient Vehicles Only".
WTF? Are we serious?
I am OK with front parking for pregnant ladies.....take out at restaurants, etc. But fuel efficient vehicles? Is this a new class system we have? What is next? Daughters cannot marry a man because he drives a non fuel efficient truck?
The word that comes to mind when I think of stupid BS like this does rhyme with truck.
The way I see it, they should put the fuel efficient spots near the back of the lot. People like me need the front spots saved for us because if we do not find a close spot right away, we drive around until we find one which further creates emissions and wasted fuel. My carbon footprint only grows because of their hasty decision to play favorites to the wind-up cars.
We'll see who is the favorite in 20 years when my truck has been 100% recylcled and their batteries are polluting the landfills. From then on, it is front row....movie star parking for me and my truck!

A better idea would be if they made all of the covered parking under the building for fuel efficient vehicles only. (We are talking the building in EP right?) Bet they'd catch flack for that. If it weren't for only impacting the peons (you're a high ranking peon) I'd be all for it.
