(Mine is red)As I was getting off of the bus this morning, I once again noticed the sign on a parking meter where I parked once last week. "Small vehicles only". I drive a 1997 Ford Escort wagon. The wheel base is 98.4 inches (2.5 meters) and the length is 174.7 inches (4.4 meters). I wasn't sure if I could park my car there or not. Well, I did, and it fit with plenty of room inside the painted lines delineating the spot.
My thoughts are so: In Europe, one would say that I drive a large car. In America, I thought it would be mid-size, but apparently it's small enough for the purposes of parking in the "small car only" spot. This means, that our large cars are way too large, I think!
