A pillow with racing stripes parked next to my MX-5 this morning. Maybe it felt a kinship with the MX-5 being close to the same color and having racing stripes; although the pillow did not have a parking permit. I park on the 6th level of the parking garage, that, by the way, I was banned for life from in January 2016; however, the parking permit department didn’t get the memo that I was banned for life, and they issued me a parking permit to park in the garage I was banned for life from over a year ago.
For my “green” red car update, I’ve been driving to schools this week to survey sites and facilities in order to update fire escape plans. With people coming back from vacations, and getting ready to go back to school, there has been a lot more stop and go traffic in my normal daily commute. But then, with driving to different schools, I did a lot more city driving, and ran into a lot more road construction over the past week. My mileage dropped a full mile per gallon this last tank of gas to 39.1 mpg (16.62 kpl) driving 352.8 miles (567.8 kilometers). That’s not too bad for more city driving.
I enjoy how much you are enjoying your green car. š
Thanks, Susan!
The pillow was an interesting find! I am glad you are enjoying that beautiful car, Tim. š
Thanks, Lavinia. It was just parked there.
)) beautiful parked pillow
Thanks, Narine.
Bella macchina š
Grazia, Simona. I love it. It’s so much fun to drive. Do you have a car?
SƬ una jeep renegade
I love it. Simona the Renegade drives a Renegade. Perfect!
Woah! Fabulous car, Tim. (That’s too funny about the pillow.)
It made me laugh when Toyota added “sport” something to the name of my Camry. But at least it’s bright blue, and suits me well. š
Thanks, Teagan.
It’s the joy of street photography to find something like that. Looks like everybody else got banned from parking there too. Cool car….I’m green with envy.
I got banned from photographing things on and from the parking structure. Parking is okay, but I still photograph a lot of stuff there.
Keep up the good photographic fight against authority and bureaucracy.
Banned? What did you do, park on the line?
Well, I’m liking the mileage.
The pillow is an act of the “one shoe only, on the road god”. Like shoes, they never come in pairs.
Hi Resa. It’s more like walking the line. There are signs about no trespassing in the parking garage, so technically doing anything else but parking is trespassing. I photographed the Imperial building under construction every week from the parking structure. I was doing one of my last set of photos when a security guard told me to leave and never come back. I asked if I was banned for life, and she said yes.
Amazing how ridiculous, ridiculous can be.
Nonetheless, glad to see you parking, again….. until ……
DROPPED to 39.1 mpg!?! ….good grief!
Sad isn’t it? Thanks, Dawn.
Is that why you got banned ., taking photos! Love that car of yours š
That’s the reason.
