Default Perks of the GSh

We don't have too many of these in Chicago. Kinda nice at O'hare Airport... Up front, Wide spots, covered. I jumped on it!



Downtown parking in Chicago... Crazy expensive. Except for the Swissôtel. 50% off of the $55 normal fee. 24hr valet with in and out service for hybrids.

Anyone else taken advantage of the Hybrid perks?

Thats pretty cool. Haven't seen anything here in Atlanta yet, need to see....

Funny story, my cousin bought a RX 400h and was riding in the HOV lane for about a year thinking hybrid vehicles got to use it as well

Very nice! ABQ, NM gives hybrid owners a sticker for free parking at city meters. Comes in handy.

That would be sick in Chicago. Our parking costs are only trumped by NYC.

Thats nice, havent seen any of these in Boston, but really wish there was cause that would make parking easier. Nice find, now I'm actually gonna look.

My office just moved into a GREEN building. Those signs are in front of every prime spot! But there not enforced. Kinda like the pregnant mother spots at the mall. The police cant write you a ticket for parking there as they can with a handicap space.
