Hacked Parking Meter gives you a Thousand Dollars of Time

at 7:43 pm. Filed under Crazy Hacks, What Were They Thinking

 

A quarter gives you 15 minutes in most meters here in Winnipeg. Based on my calculations this meter is good for almost 6 weeks. Only problem here is that no mater how much you plug the meter you are only able to stay in the spot for 2 hours. I would love to see the face of the meter attendant who comes across this meter though! Here is the full details if you are interested (PDF).
