Need Another Reason to Take Transit? You Parking Space Costs 5x More Than Your Car

CNN.com reports that a parking space in center London is for sale for $187,500. The space is close to Harrods in Knightsbridge.

I have nothing to say, other than that parking space would cost more than 20x what my last car cost.

Sorta makes the congestion charge look like small potatoes, no?

It makes me very sad inside that someone who has $187,500 for a parking spot is going to spend it on said spot, and not give it to me so that I can drink top shelf liquor for a while.

How long exactly would that money keep you in good booze?

It'd keep in him good liquor for three or four days, at least.

$200k worth of Finlandia and Sapphire could last me years. But, if I started buying wine, and sharing with my friends (as I'm wont to do), probably only three or four months.
