Monthly parking lot downtown has Scion-only parking area!

Pretty cool. I just relocated monthly parking to a different lot in the downtown Portland area. They have a section as you pull in which is designed and striped to park two cars parrallel to the curb. But it is too tight to turn around so it goes un used... that is until I asked if I could park 90 degrees to the curb as long as I don't block traffic. The guy laughed and said sure... well, the little xB will sit backed up to the curb without the nose hanging out into the lane.

Been parking that way for a little over a week now and last night I saw another xB and an xA parked next to me! We have room for probably a total of 6 or 7 of us it we park close together. The lot owner likes it because he can get more monthly parkers into his lot so it will remain an ultra-compact parking area (perpendicular parking only).

I always like to park by other scion owners. Even if they may not be totally in love with the car.

Pics would be nice, but a diagram accompanying them would be stellar.
