NASHUA — Three reserved parking spaces for hybrid and low-emission cars at the new $3.3 million state liquor store are located closer to the store’s main entrance than the handicapped parking spots, causing at least one lawmaker to call the design a slap in the face to the disabled.

Well, you need someplace convenient to put your Prius when you’re getting your Night Train, don’tcha know!

Or “This Vehicle is a hybrid. Sometimes it runs on gas. Sometimes it runs on a hamster in a wheel.”

Well, Bill, there’s yer new spot! :)

We're getting there...."This vehicle is a hybrid. Sometimes it runs on gas. Sometimes I have to peddle".

And a picture of a car with the gas tank....and the peddles showing underneath....or a second car...a Flintstone type..

3 if you're lucky and can park vertically and use of of those *customer w/ a child* spaces.

I would presume nothing, at least not yet. My company car is a Ford Escape so I went and got a Hybrid emblem (they have a hybrid option) and glued it on. There aren’t that many restricted parking stalls around these parts (yet) but I have parked in the ones I have encountered.

I would never park in a handicapped stall, but the two are in no way analogous.
