My truck is a Hybrid

I love Cali, but I do roll my eyes at some of the things I see from time to time. Parking lot was kinda full so I said screw it and parked here because its total BS:



Some snobby old man walks up and is like "hey, is that big truck really a hybrid? I don't think so." And I turn to him and go "Why yes of course its a hybrid, why do you think I parked here?" He goes "no way that thing has anything electric on it." So I say "no its not electric, its a hybrid of gasoline and America." He shakes his head and walks off.

But seriously? Handicap parking, fine. Hybrid only parking? LOL.

LOL. Reminds me of the scene in "Larry The Cable Guy - Health Inspector" when they head out on the road and the chick pulls out in her Prius and Larry rolls out in his lifted POS truck and asks her if "that thing" runs on strawberry douche lol. Seriously - how screwed is "Hybrid" parking ????????????

Wow I have never seen those before. I gotta say I don't want to live anywhere else but things like this make me mad. All the stupid benefits "hybrid" drivers get.

If you don't want to be hassled, you could get a hybrid badge and replace the adhesive backing with a magnetic backing. Then, everytime you find a spot, slap on the hybrid badge.

Many F150's can run on E85, which is considered "ALT FUEL", and Ford throws the green leaf badge on E85 vehicles. Just claim that's what you drive. If they don't believe you, offer them a taste of your gas.

That is quite a large parking space for it to be labelled "compact".
