That Thing you park

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr's car is getting its own parking law paparazzi.

Burr's "Thing," a Volkswagen resembling a World War II German military vehicle, was photographed for a second time in what appeared to be an illegal parking spot, Politico reports. The latest verboten vehicle location was outside the Russell Senate Office Building, according to the web site.

Burr's wheels were earlier seen in a no parking zone outside the Capitol Hill Club. 

UPDATE: Burr's office had no comment.

I don't see any sign that says this is an illegal parking space or am I missing something? As for mileage, it is a VW and they always get good mileage.

As long as Senator Burr pays his parking tickets, then I have no problem with this "story."

Maybe Senator Burr should trade his Thing in for a new car under the "cash for clunkers" program!

I wonder what the gas mileage is on that thing...

No wonder the DSCC and the President can't recruit anyone to run against Burr, their best opposition research consists of parking tickets.
