The Old Dog Says: "So That's Why They Call it a Smart Car"!

in #lifestylelast year

Do you face parking problems where you live? It doesn't seem to matter where you reside; whether it's in a big city or a small town parking is either unavailable or VERY expensive!

At our warehouse, which is in a small town, I pay about $50 a month per spot to park our vehicles. That's a super price because other spots in the area go for $100 and up! In the "city" the prices move toward $200 and up

We have three parking places with no chance of having any others because they are unavailable! The next best option is an hourly lot for more than double the price and it's about a 10 minute walk away.

These two are parking two cards for the price of one. Now that is Smart!

Enter The Smart Car

In the photo there are two Smart Cars parked in one parking place! That's logical since each car has room for two people and most vehicles drive around with just one person!

What About You?

  • Do you pay for parking?
  • Is it expensive?
  • Do you agree that many of us drive vehicles that are bigger than is necessary?

Until next time,

I had a Fiat 126 for a while when I lived in Germany. I could get into parking spaces that others couldn't. Small cars are what you need in cities.

Wow I had forgotten that you once lived in Germany! Here in Switzerland you "need" a small car pretty well everywhere. Having said that a huge percentage of people drive huge SUV's which almost always have only 1 occupant.

Anyway you can just run wherever you need to go. No need to park anything! :)

A smart car is smart until God forbid it hits a truck.

Good point!
