That is vague. In IKEA Canada, there are HYBRID VEHICLES parking spots. I found an E320 Bluetec parked in there... I was annoyed. I don't even park my smart there because the sign says hybrid not fuel efficient. On the plus side, it's usually empty but there's the occasional a------ that parks there and it's usually an SUV.

Dude, I've had my Honda/Acura parking threads. Worst and most inconsiderate parkers ever.

Yeah, there is pregnant or rather "EXPECTING" parking spaces.

Pregnant/expecting parking spaces did not pass in California, but we do have fuel efficient/electric vehicle parking.

Well that's nice, but as far as I know, the only one that can get you a ticket is wrongfully parking in the handi-spots.

The "Hybrid Parking Only" is completely stupid. I would be okay with "Exotic Italian Supercar Only Parking". That makes sense to me.

Before you know it, they'll have dedicated parking for just about anything. This is getting out of hand. I usually park my car further away to avoid people, but geeze, an extra 50 feet of walking is nothing people!

I am so parking in that parking space and revving my engine.

And it doesn't make sense. Assuming that people buy hybrids for the gas mileage and the environment (...well, yeah...debatable...). Well, if their cars are so damn efficient, make them park out in BFE so my V8 can park by the door so I won't waste gas by parking out in BFE.
