Car compactor
Make those SUVs in "compact" spaces really compact! | |
Compact spaces are marked for a reason -- it's because they're smaller. However, SUV owners, not being content to pollute the world and take up more than a lane of traffic with their hunks of metal, often blithely park in a compact space, even though their cars are clearly hanging over the painted lines.
If you get two or three in a row like this, the person at the other end probably couldn't park a motorcycle in the space remaining, and the other cars are subject to scratches,dings, etc. The solution is a car compactor, a traveling gadget that could be mounted on the back of a pickup rather like a tow truck mechanism. It has two hunks of metal that slide on either side of the car and >>>>SQUEEZE<<<< it until it fits in the space allotted.

Unfortunately, the car compacter+pickup assembly would probably take up an excess of one parking space, rendering its user a hypocrite. |

Or you could clamp them. Either way. |
