Name that Infraction!

Welcome everyone to the first episode of "name that infraction." You'll be presented with pictures of assorted cars in, shall we say, compromising positions. Your task will be to name the infraction. Be warned, some of the infractions are less obvious than others. Are you ready to start?

Ok, here's your first candidate...



The clock is ticking. This one is easy, come on, you can do it. Think. You can do it.. The yellow thing in the picture - that's key.

Right! Good job. That car is parked too close to the fire hydrant.

Ok, let's move on to the second infraction.. Are we ready? Ok, here goes..



No, don't worry, just think for a minute. Something is familiar in this picture. Think, what is it? Yes! It's the yellow thing again!

That's right, this car is also parked too close to a fire hydrant. And if you look really carefully, you can actually see the front of the car from the first question (the Ford Escape Hybrid - allegedly owned by the wife of the owner of Jon R Crase Construction) - does she ha

Congrats, you're two for two. Let's try something a little more challenging, ok? Here goes..


This is a tough one, I know. But you can figure it out. Work with me.. Come on, you can do it.. It's there, on the tip of your tongue. Think colors. Think red this time though. Get it??

Yes! Congratulations, you got another one right!! This car is parked in front of a red curb. Red curbs are red for a reason, you're not supposed to park in front of them (you're not surprised, are you?)

Ok boys and girls, one more. Here goes. Ready?


Come on, after the other three, this one is a cakewalk. Yes! Wonderful!! You're right again! This car is parked in front of a red curb too. You knew - you can't have any part of your car in front of a red curb.

Congratulations, you did great! Let's try one more, ok? This one is harder than all of the others.

Ready? Ok, here goes. For all the marbles, name the infraction!



No, don't give up? Think about it.. What could be wrong here. Is this car parked wrong? No, that's not it (I don't think so anyway - it's in a guest parking spot, I assume it belongs to a guest. Think. What could it be. Look at the picture again. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you look at it?

It's ugly. Yes! That's it, exactly. You hit the nail on the head! This car is just freaking ugly. And what makes it truly amazing is that this is a special edition car. That's right non-car-buffs. Someone actually paid extra for this. Porsche says it goes for nearly $75,000. Can you imagine that - paying $75,000 for a car that you can really only drive on Halloween? Yo, babe, trick or treat!
