HOWEVER- unlike the "low emitting fuel efficient vehicles" allowed to park there- this Vette has done far less destruction to mother earth because it's not in a junkyard after a few years of service...

I mean if there's a banana in my tailpipe I'll just launch it out when I start the car, or blow it up. Which ever happens first.

You just need one of those bumper stickers that says, "It's a HYBRID, it burns GAS and RUBBER."

Or the coal power plants creating the power for the "emissions free" cars....

OK back to the original programing....
