Figure 1 - It wouldn't be the first time a woman made mostly of plastic had to talk her way out of a ticket.

A friend sent me a picture (The previously un-doctored image in Figure 1) of an unusual curbside marking near his work.  I’m not sure what was necessarily meant by the yellow paint on the curb, but the only drivers this will deter from parking in this spot are action figures and chipmunks that can pass a maneuverability test.

For anyone preparing to comment that the Barbie car in the picture is not to scale, save it.  If it were, you wouldn’t be able to see it.  I’ve made quite clear my stance on PhotoShop accusations in the past.

Perhaps this was meant to be a future site of a fire hydrant, lemonade stand, or roadside porta-pottie.  Either way, if you see this keep the throttle full on your big wheel.
