Parking Tickets – Update

By Joshua Babcock on May 30th, 2009, 2:58 pm 4 Comments

So, back to the old sly-as-can-be ticket dispensing! It was a beautiful day, so handing out parking tickets was more of a joy than a chore. I’ve been letting my intuition and somewhat-extensive automotive knowledge guide me in choosing the cars I feel are “fuel efficient.” This Toyota Corolla (pictured) averages about 7L/100km, whereas the Dodge Viper (your average over-achieving American sports car, pictured below), averages around 14L/100km. Thanks to all of you who don’t mind sacrificing speed for fuel efficiency!

This is a prime example of someone who is more likely to receive a speeding ticket than a fuel-efficiency ticket.

   Thanks Steve!
   So far, I’ve only made one version of the ticket, but I am very open to suggestions. I suppose these tickets could be given out to people who own or operate other forms of transportation, eh?
