For some people, blending in is not the goal.
This is a modified version of the origin, which you can see on joe's nyc. In this version, I turned the bus pink to exaggerate the point.
But after looking at it for a few days, I decided it went a bit over the top and posted the original version on joe's nyc. Now I'm not sure which I prefer.
UPDATE: I switched the joe's nyc image to this pink bus, since everyone finds the pink bus much more effective.

I like this version best! I remember seeing a similar 'parking lot' when in NY last year. These parking slots intrigue me...so how do you get to your car? Looks like I didn't post my version from our Feb 2011 trip to NY. I'll look for it soon and post if it's decent - there may be a very good reason why I didn't post it.

As far as I know, to get the VW bus out, they'd have to drive the bottom car out, lower the elevator, drive the next car out, lower the elevator...until they reached the bus.
That's why they ask you how long you're staying when you park — they try to plan for the least amount of shuffling...

This must be long-term parking. I found this shot on the web and it looks like several of the same vehicles in the same spots. I bet this is also the same VW before it was painted pink.

EDIT: I read your caption and the rest of the comment thread about you photoshopping the bus pink after I posted this.

Bill — I had even altered the pre-pink bus image in photoshop to boost the saturation and make it stand out.
