Must be the 3rd and 4th floors are "secure floors" and you have to go through a full cavity strip search to even drive in there.  ;D

Yes. People do this.  For the garage to fully evacuate at the end of a work day, it takes about 20-30 minutes to work your way down from the back of the 5th floor of the garage at the busiest possible time of day...so they add 2 hours in the morning to save 20-30 minutes in the afternoon.

I would just find something to do for 20 minutes after work. Read a book, make some phone calls, walk around the block, something.

Makes a lot more sense then sleeping 2 hours in your car.
And I know I can get about 2 hours worth of work done in 30 minutes once the office is empty and no one is bothering me so there are A LOT of better options then waking up that early just to sleep in their car.

Prius drivers. 

Along with Corolla drivers and Camry drivers.  What is it with those folks?
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I live about ten miles from the Mexico border, so we get a lot of drivers from Mex. who think that a stop sign is a slow down and floor it sign.

I'm not from Mexico amigo. But me and a lot of my Americano compadres like rolling stops too. Being from Mexico has nothing to do with it me thinks. (this should be read with a Speedy Gonzalez accent)  ;D

No racism here-I am married to a senorita from Mexicali, but you should go to T.J. or Mexicali to see how they drive over there. Of course, they take their bad driving habits with them when they come, and they drive like that on the street on which I live. I have two daughters, 12 & 13, and I don't want to see them run over by some maniac.

They're just being Green.  You use more gas when you come to a full stop.
He man, where are all the ads?

There are many cars in Mex. that use as much oil as they do gas, so I would say they are green covered with smoke.  ;D
