smart fortwos get half-price parking in 350 New York parking garages

Question: Should you only pay half the price for a parking spot if your car only takes up half as much room as other vehicles? According to Central Parking System, Inc., which owns more than 350 parking garages in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and New Jersey, the answer is yes. CPS has partnered up with smart USA to offer drivers of the fortwo half-price parking in all of its garages.

When the smart fortwo was initially designed, its makers had urban settings firmly in mind, which is why the little machine is just 61 inches wide and 106 inches long. Those diminutive dimensions serve to reduce congestion and make it much easier for owners of the fortwo to fit in parking spaces that may otherwise go to waste.

I liked the parking sign with the Smart on it.

Parking in a garage would take away the fun of dropping into a space that no one else can fit into! I did it last Sunday in the west village and received applause when i got out of my Cabrio ! It was priceless .
